That's a little misleading because it makes it look like each decision point is a chain split.

This one is better: https://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2017/07/Screen-Shot-2017-...



Different audiences. Most friends & acquaintances asking me for explanations about august 1

⒈ get repeatedly caught up on basic blockchain concepts (i.e. go in circles w/ terminology)

⒉ know absolutely nothing about the politics of the decision-making up to now

⒊ yet have already been exposed to somebody's propaganda and half-internalized the wrongthink

So i'm not sure that a flowchart of just the proposals w/o entities serves much purpose. Its audience is essentially limited to devs who just need to be caught up on current events.

Coin Dance already has this information available, but across two dashboard-style pages⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ — not quite arranged efficiently enough for an interactive infographic.

Starting from "know your hardforks" and adding the missing bits from the flowchart as tooltip or on-hover information could work.
