Not important?
If by "important," you mean "dictator," then sure. What would you like to talk about?

What on earth is the point of the people that are thinking that we need to suddenly rush into a hard fork in order to make block sizes bigger?
Because Bitcoin is growing, and 1MB blocks will soon fail to accommodate all the transactions.
Because Bitcoin has outgrown its baby clothes, they no longer fit.
Because things change, life is flux, and while the temporary spam control measure was appropriate for the conditions for which it was created, it no longer is.
Because raising the blocksize is the begging solution for scaling Bitcoin.
Because ELY5 here.
