Quantum is fundamentally a very sophisticated way of stealing keys. We should not change Bitcoin to prevent stealing keys, or remediate after the fact. Just because it's high-tech, and hasn't happened yet, doesn't justify it. Once we start allowing changes based on righting perceived wrongs it's over. If there is any other way, such as adding a quantum-proof address scheme, then this is enough.
