We just saw a hard-fork happen because we ran into previously unknown
scaling issues with the current codebase. Why follow that up immediately
with yet another jump into unknown scaling territory?

I suspect the PR fallout from another chain split, let alone multiple
splits, will be far damaging to Bitcoin than stories along the lines of
"Gee, actually it'd kinda expensive to do a Bitcoin transaction these
days due to all the competition. I dunno, I guess it must be really
popular and valuable or something?"

Lets let the issue rest for a while, and we can all have some time to
work on our various approaches to solving the problem. The worst that
will happen is growth temporarily slows - hardly a disaster I think.
