Vitalik: Even in an L2-dominated Ethereum, it is necessary to increase the L1 Gas limit

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has released a new article titled "The Need to Increase L1 Gas Limit Even in an L2-Dominant Ethereum". The article states that an important recent discussion in the Ethereum roadmap is about how to increase the L1 gas limit.

Recently, the L1 gas limit increased from 30 million to 36 million, increasing capacity by 20%. Many people support a significant further increase in the near future. These increases are safe due to recent and upcoming technical improvements: efficiency improvements of Ethereum clients, reduced need for storing old history due to EIP-4444 (see roadmap), and future stateless clients.

However, before we go down this path, it's important to ask one question: In the long run, under a Rollup-centric roadmap background, is it right to raise the L1 gas limit? We don't want to face centralization risks brought by high L1 usage without really determining whether we will benefit from it.
