Re:Vitalik Buterin Proposes New EIP to Tackle Ethereum’s Sky... by bhaak on Monday November 29, 2021 @04:26PM (#29385492)
Of course it needed a hard fork: https://ethereum.org/en/history/#london

It was first proposed by Vitalik in 2018 but lay dormant for a while before being picked up by community members and being prepared for inclusion. IIRC it took about 2 years to get it into production.

Besides the technical changes it's interesting as the most vocal proponents weren't developers and as such its inclusion was truly driven by the community.
