Breadwallet seems to be planning to fraudulently move its users from Bitcoin to the 2X altcoin

This is going to be an empty "chose your wallet" page.

In previous discussions, the consensus was that since headers-only wallets cannot easily detect these things, they should not generally be considered to be altcoin wallets as long as they are currently acting as Bitcoin wallets. There's a reasonable case to be made that headers-only wallets are inherently insecure and should maybe be removed from bitcoin.org for that reason, but that's a different issue.

Though if someone created a fork of Breadwallet which fixed this issue, it seems to me that it would be strictly superior to list that fork instead.

It would be trivial for light wallets to download any possible block 494784 in full, and check the size of it.

I agree with @luke-jr that it would be trivial for wallets to check. However, there are currently a lot of things that SPV wallets do not check, nor do we have criteria for them to check. As I've been fond of saying in the past, I believe that if we want to have new criteria, then we should discuss them, add them, and then apply them consistently to all the wallets.

As @theymos alludes, I believe that breadwallet is currently acting as a Bitcoin wallet, just as many other wallets that are listed do (as @Mirobit alluded). The breadwallet team is being proactive in describing the current behavior of their wallet as well being open to discussing future behavior.

I don't believe anyone has proposed any specific action in this thread yet, so I'll leave it at that for me too.
