Increasing each blocks capacity for gas helps to address the levana problem but it does not help to address potential spam issues related to the version of the IBC go library that osmosis currently uses.

So we could kind of end up in the same place again unless we raised the cost of bytes which seemed to me to be kind of critical to any type of harmful spam.
