Stellar is more like LTC as McCaleb took Ripple's code and forked it. But Ethereum Classic and Ethereum share a common blockchain history and it proves that the community doesn't always follow blindly the proposals of the Ethereum devs. That event (a part of the community splitting of on a hardfork and forming Ethereum Classic) has affected the governance of Ethereum ever since. Not directly, but indirectly. Every hardfork is now checked for contentious changes very thoroughly. The last major change that didn't make it because of that was the proposed change to the mining algorithm (granted, ProgPOW had other problems as well).
