Do you have guarantees that Core Devs will continue to participate after such move?
I'm certain that it is likely that most of them would abandon their 'public' work for Bitcoin. Would you not do the same if you got 'stabbed in the back' after this much time?

I dont think life is fair anyway. What about Satoshi and his vision for Bitcoin to become world number one currency and continuously scaling up to a point only the dataceners could handle the load, not individual home PCs. Who stabbed in the back his vision, do we appreciate he started Bitcoin at all? Should not Bitcoin follow his vision, and some altcoin try a different, artifically limited bloksizes perfectly suitable for home PCs bought around year 2005, now and forever.

I dont follow the idea Bitcoin should end up on dataceners only, but I dont follow the idea we should allow minimum system requirements to be allowed to run full nodes for 10+ year old computers eighter, this is ridiculous and not helpfull at all to keep current artifically low limit. Who get most out of this low limit at all? Why we want 10+ year old computers to be compatible full nodes when its contra productive - we may get few more full nodes in rural areas, but at a cost of million users not able to use Bitcoin because of limited blocksize - prety bad trade off, out of the million new users you get more new full nodes who have decent computer. If someone cannot afford 2 year old computer and normal 5Mbps connection, why should he have right to run Bitcoin full node - and why someone needs to run the full node on 10+ year old computer is out of my mind.

It would be ridicilous if gaming industry followed current Core devs vision to make the games compatible with 10+ year old computers. Maybe good for few ones, but most people would not be happy.
