I hear consensus that at some point we need a hardfork (== creating blocks that
will not be accepted by <0.7 clients).
Miners generate block, hence they are the ones who should filter themselves
though some consensus.

While 0.7 and earlier do have issues, they also define the Bitcoin protocol.
0.8's failure to comply with the protocol is an issue.
