This is why Bitcoin Cash was forked off from the legacy chain before Segwit was added.
The "New York Agreement" was a blog post, it was never a legally binding and enforceable contract.
There's a strong argument that the "agreement" was designed to fail, as it's hardly a compromise when party A gets what they want immediately, but party B has to wait.
In future, all "agreements" should be ignored.
More important is that those who signed simply have no power to change Bitcoin.

Yeah, especially when party A doesn't even sign any agreement.
This whole issue has never been about block size- that's the lie they tell to try and take control.
It's all about governance and an attempt for the suits to take bitcoin away from the engineer meritocracy.
I understand that-- arguing with core people is sometimes frustrating-- but at the end of the day, core is doing a fantastic job.
because it's not totally controlled by suits already? Who do think is pouring money into mining this stuff.
