Vitalik Buterin argued that a clear decentralization framework is essential before technical upgrades such as raising gas limits are implemented

Quotes that support claims

Vitalik Buterin emphasized the importance of reaching a clear, shared understanding within the community on these decentralization-related questions. He noted that such clarity is essential for determining safe limits for Layer 1 gas usage and for identifying which Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) are most important to prioritize to maximize the gaslimit/decentralization tradeoff curve.

We need to get to a much clearer collective view on our answers to these questions ASAP. The answers will define both what L1 gaslimits are safe, and what EIPs are most important to prioritize to maximize the gaslimit/decentralization tradeoff curve.
