What is the difference between ETC and ETH when the invariance principle is abandoned?

律动BlockBeats 消息，7 月 17 日，据 OpenEthereum 开发人员发文称，团队决定在下一版本中放弃对 ETC 网络的支持。而 Parity 核心开发者 Wei Tang 也在自己的推特中表示，他了解到，除了 OpenEthereum 之外，以太坊经典（ETC）的另一个客户端 MultiGeth 也宣布停止对 ETC 支持。据律动获悉，这两个客户约占 ETC 网络节点数的 70％。

On Openethereum's Github, team members have initiated a vote to drop ETC network support due to the current negative coverage from many stakeholders and the lack of a meaningful story behind the classics (ETC is no longer immutable)... Finally the team decided that the ETC network support would be abandoned in the next release.

Note: The main difference between ethereum classics (ETC) and Ethereum (ETH) is on an ideological level - ETH's vision is that if the majority of the community decides that the blockchain record should be modified, ETC believes that the code is the law and the blockchain must be immutable. (But now ETC has changed its mind and followed the principle of maximum consensus, leading many previously supported teams and users to criticize the decision)

Wei Tang, the core developer at Parity, also said that perhaps the reason for the drop was the same as his own decision to end support for ETC: ETC was a departure from the original idea of hard fork in Ethernet. For example, in the Phoenix hard branch of ETC, the developer decided to deliberately break several low-value smart contracts that had already been deployed along the chain. Moreover, ETC lacks a cooperative culture, and active marketing from all sides breaks the classic competitive cooperative culture of Ethereum.As ETC Following the principle of maximum consensus and user selection, abandoning its invariance principle, ETC is the same as Eitum in almost every respect, and Wei Tang argues that supporting it will mean supporting unnecessary disruption and fragmentation.
