EIP-7825: Transaction Gas Limit Cap

I posted this over at the EIP-7987 discussion, but it’s really important not to make breaking/backwards-incompatible changes. Why set this limit lower than the “conventional” block gas limit of 30M? We already have examples of dApps that this lower limit will break. Don’t squander the goodwill that Ethereum’s stability has engendered. The EVM is such a vibrant developer ecosystem precisely because of Ethereum’s stability. I see this entirely too often in EIPs that affect the execution layer. Linus wouldn’t tolerate this and neither should we.
