Interestingly enough, it's the non-consensus changes that are the most applicable to user experience. Every time blocktrades makes it cheaper and easier for us to build on the network, that's a big win for everyone.

The consensus changes are just small modifications as we tweek the network into the correct direction.

Again, it's not the hardforks that are going to make huge leaps and bounds in terms of value to the network... it's the dapps built on the network. HF25 supports other devs running their dapps.
