That is good progress. I would like the SegWit to be tested properly and implemented soon. So is the block size increase.

Segregated Witness Enters Final Testnet Stage, Includes Lightning Network Support
Bitcoin Core developers Dr. Pieter Wuille, Eric Lombrozo and Johnson Lau launched a fourth – and probably final – iteration of the Segregated Witness testnet today. Perhaps most importantly compared to previous versions, “SegNet 4” includes support for another upcoming Bitcoin protocol improvement, CheckSequenceVerify (CSV). This allows for experimentation with routable bidirectional payment channels, better known as lightning networks.
