In case you don't subscribe to the @p{(link}bitcoin-development mailing list@p{link)}, we've been talking about a new BIP: @p{par}

"Bitcoin blocks and transactions are versioned binary structures. Both currently use version 1. This BIP introduces an upgrade path for versioned transactions and blocks. A unique value is added to newly produced coinbase transactions, and blocks are updated to version 2." @p{par}

Full BIP: @s{(link)} @p{brk}
Mailing list discussion:  @s{(link)} @p{brk}
Pull request that implements BIP 34: @s{(link)} @p{brk}
BIP16 "Lessons learned" : @s{(link)} @p{par}

I'd like to keep most discussion on the bitcoin-development mailing and not here on the forums, although I do plan on posting to one of the mining boards to warn solo miners and pool operators that they will eventually need to upgrade (I expect it will take at least a year and probably two or more for 95% of hashing power to upgrade, which is the proposed timeframe for full BIP 34 support).
