This just makes me go: "well, duh". If I would come in on your current project and make changes you didn't agree with, would you "let me in"?
If things are really so bad and Bitcoin is FOSS, why don't you (or whoever cares about rising the limit most) just fork the project and create Bitcoin 2.0. If this is truly best thing for the currency then everyone is bound to jump the ship and use your new currency.
