An action which you could only contemplate due to the work of myself and others who believe that the BIP101 approach would be significantly damaging. I think it's likely that it will be increased in the future, but in a way that preserves Bitcoin's properties as a decenteralized P2P electronic cash, rather than disregarding them or undermining them.
As per Satoshi's "
Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System": P2P is a 'prerequisite' for the system to 'enable' electronic cash.
It does not work the other way around.
But these spammers dont even care about decentralization, so boring.
