We can phase in a change later if we get closer to needing it.

IMO it's a marketing thing. It's tough to get people to buy into a system, if the network is technically incapable of supporting high transaction rates.

Satoshi just said it can be changed, so technically the network is capable.

It is also an incompatible change, as you see.....

Applying this patch will make you incompatible with other Bitcoin clients.

+1 theymos. Don't use this patch, it'll make you incompatible with the network, to your own detriment.

We should be able to at least match Paypal's average transaction rate...
