The discussion on the bitcoin-dev mailing list revolves around the number of nodes necessary to ensure sufficient network reliability. The question is how many nodes are needed for this purpose, and at what point do we hit the point of diminishing returns, where adding extra nodes starts to have negligible impact on the overall reliability of the system. One participant in the discussion proposes that consensus must be reached to find a non-controversial solution that does not take unnecessary risks. Another participant believes that it is essential to not take unnecessary risks and find a solution that everyone agrees on. The conversation also touches upon block size, and whether or not the system can handle any size.
