Most successful tech protocols (HTTP, SMTP, etc) have featured very very slow development and always developed with backwards compatibility in mind (ie. no hard forks). In some cases the specs have been largely unchanged for decades.
Because of the "money nature" of Bitcoin, there exist a recurrent need to "do something"....all sorts of rationale is given for this, most of which doesn't really have much supporting evidence (ie. we need to scale, we need to protect against qc, we need covenants, etc)
The worst thing for bitcoin would be to keep fiddling with it and trying to "improve it". Busy developers fingers will continue to produce diminishing returns in functionality and increased mental fragmentation. Left unchecked it will eventually undo itself and lead to the active collapse of cohesion of the community.
The compulsive need to "develop" and "change".
