Bitcoin has two major factions, and this is more or less a peaceful way for them to split out. I'm hoping it decreases the overall level of conflict, as both groups will be able to get what they want here.

It seems as long as there are two chains, supporters of one will still be trying to attack and hope for the demise of the other, even though I share your hope that the opposite will happen.
