I am in support of this PIP.
Increasing the gas limit will increase chain capacity.
Changing the base fee rate of change will reduce the speed at which the base fee goes up and down when there are surges in demand.
Pectra EIPs are needed so that the chain stays compatible with tools designed for EVM.

Hi, we just proposed a new PIP for early block announcements on PoS which will lead to better block propagation. The changes are pretty trivial and requires a hard fork.

We’d like to request the community to also include PIP 66 for the Bhilai HF. Thanks!
