It seems to me that the biggest failure was not the development of two
chains, but the assurance to users (by the client) that their transactions
were confirmed.
Is it possible to change the definition of "6 confirmations" so that it's
something like: "six confirmations clear of any other chain". While there
are two competing chains, it's possible that one will go pop at any moment.
That makes the confirmation count of any transaction on one of those chains,
zero.
It doesn't seem impossible that clients could be made far more permissive
about acknowledging the existence of blockchains that they wouldn't
necessarily accept themselves (if the proof of work was valid) and warning
the users that it's going on.
