Sorry you feel that way. I devoted a big part of the article to trying to fairly represent the top 3 arguments made, but ultimately I can't link to a clear statement of what Bitcoin Core thinks because there isn't one. Some people think the block size should increase, but not now, or not by much. Others think it should stay at 1mb forever, others think everyone should migrate to Lightning, people who are actually implementing Lightning think it's not a replacement for an increase ..... I think one or two people even suggested shrinking the block size!

So I've done my best to sum up the top arguments. If you think I've done a bad job, well, get writing and lay it out how you see it!

I don't think the position of "Bitcoin is open source but touching THESE parts is completely bogus" is reasonable. Bitcoin is open source or it isn't. You can't claim to be decentralised and open source, but then only have 5 people who are allowed to edit the most important parts. That's actually worse than central banking!
