Speaking to CoinJournal through email, Bitcoin Core lead developer Wladimir van der Laan has commented on the Bitcoin Roundtable Consensus agreement, and his comments can best be described as cautiously optimistic.
At the crux of the scaling debate, and why it spilled over into a discussion about bitcoin governance, is the discussion of when a proposed solution should be implemented. The man who ultimately makes that decision is Wladimir van der Laan. He has always taken the position that no major change, especially one requiring a hardfork, should be implemented until there is sufficient consensus in the community.
