This is especially important if take into account all the projects that
aim to build upon the bitcoin blockchain and that can have a significant
impact, both in terms of storage space as well as transaction volume spikes.

Just recently I suggested the need for a BIP to standardize reporting of
"delay alerts" in wallets, so that users can act accordingly (i.e.
fee-bump, postpone, cancel) before sending their transactions during
these periods of increased transaction volume.

IMHO keeping the users informed of potential issues before committing
transactions to the network can go a long way towards preventing
frustration and potential backlashes against blockchain tech.
