A proposed block size increase for Bitcoin-XT has sparked controversy among developers. While some see a larger block size as necessary to accommodate increasing numbers of transactions, others warn that such a change could negatively impact the network and its users. The issue is particularly divisive because it requires a hard fork, which is much more difficult to implement than a soft fork.
