Benjamin,

Timeframe for network congestion and users experiencing service
degradation =3D> between now and middle of next year.

Timeframe for transaction fees topping block reward fees =3D> many years in
the future, based on current ratio of block reward to fees.

What is the more pressing requirement now? A working =B3fee market=B2 or a
reliable, useful payment network that scales without falling over in the
next 2-3 years.
