It is not clear he is proposing "inaction." I am not sure what he is
proposing other than being against knee-jerk reactions. He has also
said he doesn't want to take on the responsibility of deciding on
whether to approve hard fork changes which is understandable considering
all the other things he is doing. Such a responsibility is probably too
much of a burden to put on any one individual no matter who it is. The
next step is to come up with a process to handle proposed hard-fork
changes other than just to ask the Core maintainer to do it.

"Reasonably achievable" is a guideline that would keep bitcoin out of
trouble caused by either too little, or too much, declared capacity.
This matches Gavin's thinking, though you may differ on the numbers.

Unless it is reasonably achievable. Leave the rest to the free market.
