## Rationale

The following script predicts the bomb will go off at block 15530314, which is expected to be mined around mid-September. This gives reason to address because the effect will be seen, but not so much urgency we don't have space to work around if needed.

```

Precise increases in block times are very difficult to predict (especially after the bomb is noticeable).
However, based on past manifestations of the bomb, we can anticipate 0.1s delays by mid-September and 0.6-1.2s delays by early October.
