Long term, we need to form a new team to work on the bitcoin protocol. A team that is welcoming of new developers to the community, willing to make reasonable trade offs, and a team that will help the protocol continue to scale. You’ll be hearing more about this over the next month or two.

The problems he talk about have existed within the bitcoin space for a long time, the recent block size drama is made to look serious by unnecessary reactions like this.
