1. I think we should limit the sum of the block and witness data to =
nBlockMaxSize*7/4 per block, for a maximum of 1.75 MB total. I don't =
like the idea that SegWit would give us 1.75 MB of capacity in the =
typical case, but we have to have hardware capable of 4 MB in =
adversarial conditions (i.e. intentional multisig). I think a limit to =
the segwit size allays that concern.

2. I think that segwit is a substantial change to how Bitcoin works, and =
I very strongly believe that we should not rush this. It changes the =
block structure, it changes the transaction structure, it changes the =
network protocol, it changes SPV wallet software, it changes block =
explorers, and it has changes that affect most other parts of the =
Bitcoin ecosystem. After we decide to implement it, and have a final =
version of the code that will be merged, we should give developers of =
other Bitcoin software time to implement code that supports the new =
transaction/witness formats.

When you guys say "as soon as possible," what do you mean exactly?
