According to Foresight News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that it is necessary to better prioritize core development in Ethereum.

He pointed out that if he had to choose between increasing the blob target from 3 to 6 and other items in Pectra, he would choose the former.

He believes that blobs and L1 EVM improvements are important, especially EOF -> with the full AA from 7701 and SIMD+EVMMAX added with moderate gas limits.

Buterin also mentioned that peerdas are in progress and suggested exploring more ambitious versions.
