like i said, excuses. i understand that it's not literally just one line of code that needs changing, because the devs are retarded (it SHOULD just be 1 line that needs changing, that's why the constant is defined, so you can change it easily), but it sure as hell would be easier to do that than to implement segwit and bring on all that technical debt. just the concept of block weight is retarded. you'd really need some big ulterior motives to even consider segwit before taking the EASY route, which is to just change that constant.

speaking of ulterior motives...
