The roadmap should be on, or at least linked on, the core homepage.  The url should be /roadmap.  It should be graphical and easy to read for the average customer of the currency.  It should be titled "roadmap" and it should explicitly state whether a hard fork is or isn't planned.  If there is a HF planned it should have the size and the date. Otherwise it should state there is not plan yet.
This. Because no one else has posted any support, I will note that I agree here.  The software is open source, but an ambiguous/hidden roadmap on a project of this size represents anything but the ideals of community and open source.

#1 there are no customers of bitcoin
#2 3 words "bitcoin core roadmap" on a common search engine (guess which) result in these results as the first two links

#3 this is result #4 -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1349965.0

Calling the roadmap "hidden" is hilarious.

That's a roadmap for capacity increase, not for scalability. So what comes next? Are LN + Side Chains officially proposed as a way of scaling to the mythical 'Visa level of transactions'? As far as I know, they're not. So what's the long term plan? What about economic model, is 'fee market' officially viewed as desirable by majority of Core devs? They're not very vocal on that.
