There are several changes that Bitcoin will have to make to survive long term. There will have to be a hard fork to address the 2106 problem. If quantum ever becomes an issue that will also have to be addressed. The very idea of freezing the code is retarded as there are existing bugs and issues with the software.

You have mentioned some thoughtful concerns regarding future challenges like the 2106 issue and quantum threats. The Bitcoin protocol's strength, I believe, lies in its meticulous evolution, not static code, as the community will doubtless realise.
I completely disagree. Non of the BIPs are necessary, nice to have at best, weakening Bitcoin. v28 was running fine. Bitcoin doesn’t need features. It‘s a ruleset. Not an app. No maintenance or up and downloads required. Too much risk. Bitcoin solves for two things in the absolute: Scarcity and immutability (no one can change it). Having idiots mess with the code kills Bitcoin.
And Quantum? Give me a break. It’s just another buzzword to scare people. It doesn’t exist. You can’t just add the word quantum in front of things and think it’s real.
