It's just that the core developers seem to be selective about what they are conservative about. Replace-by-fee, which is a very controversial change which there's never been a lot of discussion about, gets fast-tracked, while a comparatively trivial change in block size gets iced because it is not part of 'the vision'.
- ikeboy 11y agoThere's been plenty of discussion (I remember reading articles about it a year before it was actually committed). It's also not even a soft fork, just a policy change for minors. It was in the original release of Bitcoin and removed for DoS reasons that no longer applied. Some minors had been running it previously. It's also opt in. I fail to see any reasonable way in which a blocksize increase is "comparatively trivial".
