We are just hoping that Bitcoin dev team would finally come into realization that the future of Bitcoin can be at stake here.
They know, I am pretty confident of that. However, people have to understand that you can't just rush out updates/implementations just because people think it's necessary - this isn't whatever redundant altcoin that can serve as testbase. That's why I like the conservative stance of the devs even though the community keeps asking for something to be done against the network cluttering we have to deal with right now. Lightning Network is being tested at this point, and that alone is for me an insanely bullish trigger already.
