A pointer to the canonical discussion about block sizes: Supporting Large IPLD Blocks with people supporting different views:
- Default is fine, problems come from inefficiencies in implementation
- We should just 10x the limit while we figure something out
- We should re-architect the system so that limits don’t play a role anymore
I think a lot of the focus goes indeed into making the browser a first-level citizen. There is value in being able to find providers and fetch content from any node via http not only for the browser though: additional language implementations got 100x easier by removing libp2p/yamux/streams from the equation. We hopefully see examples from the community.
