EIP-9698: Exponential Gas Limit Increase

This discussion thread responds to EIP-9698, which proposes an exponential Ethereum gas limit increase. The commenter supports raising the gas limit substantially but opposes committing to an aggressive schedule for its own sake, arguing that increases should be manually agreed upon or they risk being too aggressive. They say the current 100x increase over 4 years is too aggressive and propose approaching it in steps, such as a 2x increase in the next 6 months, while agreeing that the exponential mechanism over epochs is fine. Their main concern is that if most nodes commit to the full schedule before the limit proves too high, coordinating all nodes to opt out and shut it down would be difficult.
