Any problems larger blocks cause will be dealt with easily when the time is right

Sure, in a few high income neighborhoods in the first world, and in telco labs. This was never at issue. There have been faster speeds than this.

Ok, I understand. You are GOD. We are all fools. You have convinced me. Best of luck in life.

The difference between opt-in, and opt-out presumptions in bitcoinlandia notwithstanding, to me the most important issue remains "that to which we are being asked to opt, being insufficiently supported".

We have no roadmap to fixing the underlying issue, the arbitrary "patch" introduces new risks, and it is quantitatively unjustified.
