Have the Bitcoin developers resigned to the idea of changing the mining algorithm to an ASIC-resistant one? Mining centralization is a big Bitcoin problem, and the development of ASICs is one of the main causes of this, but I haven't found a lot of discussion about changing the mining algorithm to a more ASIC-resistant one. Is this because there is some kind of contract between the big miners and the Bitcoin developers, to not change it ever? Or there is some work in progress?
Aside from the forking problems that arise from trying to change the mining algorithm, ASICs are gaining a longer shelf life, allowing for more time to distribute mining equipment, ultimately helping decentralization.
