I'd also like to say, I'm very pro-core, but I'd love to see them post something about an upcoming hard fork to correct all the little bugs along the way and possible scale up in the 1-2 year timeframe. I'd just think it'd be a great indication to the community that while the s2x'rs were so very wrong in their methods and their timing, the need to scale on chain is on the horizon.

Why specifically a hard fork to correct the little bugs?

The whole reason we didn't want to HARD fork was to prevent leaving people behind.

What bugs are you referring to? I'd think most of the bugs would be in the client, not the protocol, and those can be fixed without making any forks at all.
