Many people (me included) would consider Bitcoin to have failed at that point. It's pretty clear that the ecosystem believed in the cap, and removing it is a bait-and-switch. Given we're currently floating around 10-15% fee-supported at the moment, I'd say most people are optimistic that we will succeed in moving Bitcoin into its final economic phase (i.e. in 10 years it will be 50% fees). Personally, I still consider it a risk.
