This is actually great news as the synch time was very off putting for me as a newb, but I agree with others that people should be encouraged to use a different light client for a number of reasons/.

I highly commend them for making this happen. My question is this: Who benefits from this change?
My bet is that many people, perhaps the majority of qt clients, will greatly benefit, but I would like some specific scenarios from other people, if possible. For me, personally, if it is going to take 4 FUCKING hours to download or get started, it might as well take two days. My life shows no functional improvement from one time limit to the other.

I kinda agree, a lot of people don't have patience to wait even for 4 hours, but if you're a newb getting into bitcoin I would always recommend a litewallet client. The bitcoin qt isn't too user friendly for the basic beginner in my opinion.

Light wallets will have a bright future.

I am unusual to the point of alien. Hopefully some semi-human people can chime in to help me out.

Bitcoin Blockchain Initial Sync Time Dramatically Reduced By Headers-First Sync
Downloading the Bitcoin blockchain is about to become a lot easier, ending a common complaint that users have about the barrier of entry to using Bitcoin software. With this new feature, new users can be fully synced with Bitcoin Core closer to 4 hours, as opposed to 2 days on an average internet connection.
