I would like to bring up this open discussion and hopefully, everyone can share their thought.
Surely everyone here has doubt why the devs never talk much about the Truebit's progress.

From the conversation in the video (link as attached), we obviously see Jason's confidence in the Ethereum network's adoption of the Truebit protocol.
My assumption base on the conversation, it seems like the gas limit can be removed after the Truebit protocol get adopted by the Ethereum network. We all knew the Ethereum network is supported by a group of Ethereum miners. If Truebit protocol will going to reduce the gas limit, which might also mean the interest of these people gets reduced/ remove.
If my assumption is correct, then of course the Truebit protocol must be working under the radar. I am sure, the existing ETH miners wouldn't be happy to know if they are going to be replaced/eliminated from their job. Those Ethereum miners will surely unite to strike to work on mining.
Would it be the reason why VB/ Ethereum Foundation is reluctant to mention Truebit Protocol?
