We don’t need an EIP to raise the gas limit. The gas limit is dynamic. Each block votes the limit up or down. It’s at 30m right now because of consensus.

It’s an informational proposal so - it is still valid

I’d suggest merging this with EIP-7783: Add Controlled Gas Limit Increase Strategy and withdrawing it.

The newly combined proposal could be considered Standards Track / Core (from EIP-1):

changes that are not necessarily consensus critical but may be relevant to “core dev” discussions

I’d also be fine with Informational, especially if another Editor suggested that category.
