I am more fazed by PR 5288 and PR 5925 not getting merged in, than by this
thread. So, casting my ballot in favor of the block size increase. Clearly,
we're still rehearsing proper discourse, and that ain't gonna get fixed

I'll pick up where you left off, Jeff. The thought process behind the
Bitcoin Core threading model, platform support, libification, dependency
management, core data structures, DoS mitigation, script evolution,
scalability roadmap... just to scratch the surface, is likely never going
to be apparent
When forgoing bootstrapping due to disk space constraints, you, and the
network, are likely better off -reindex-ing from current blk000??.dat files.
Which brings up an interesting point: The improvements related to the
headers first approach are likely to increase, how ever marginally, the
