it's disgusting. he used to care about what was good for the bitcoin network. now he backtracks on everything he said, so Classic can take over the bitcoin protocol.
even if we assume that most people want a block size increase, wtf is this? now slipping things into Classic that everyone knows is bad for the ecosystem, and which users dont want? he's trying to buy miner votes for Classic with this PR, against all of our interests as users!
this really endangers lite nodes that depend on miners fully validating! people always say full node counts drop because people are moving to lite nodes. and if blocks get bigger, even more. that just means all the more people are going to lose money when miners build on top of invalid chains.
if this gets adopted, and you run a lite/SPV/api node wallet (electrum, multibit, blockchain.info etc) make sure you wait for additional confirmations (6+)! 0-2+ confirmation transactions will be much less safe for anyone that does not run a full node.

Implement "head first mining" : propagate new 80-byte block headers as quickly as possible across the network, and give miners the opportunity to start mining an empty block as soon as they hear about the block header.
