At the moment, I somewhat doubt this is likely to happen. Signet provides
an alternative for configuring multiple separate private and public testing
networks. If you would like to get involved, check out the recent
discussion on the topic recorded here:

[bitcoin-dev] testnet4

2019-06-08 Thread Emil Engler via bitcoin-dev
Hello, I tried myself with some Bitcoin development. For this I used of 
course the Bitcoin testnet. However it took me one hour to sync the 
blockchain with around 1538358 blocks. In my opinion that is too much 
for a testnet. Especially the blockchain size with around 26GB is so 
much. Would it be possible to reset the testnet with a new genesis block 
? And if so, can we setup a fixed cycle for resetting the testnet (For 
example every second 1st of January) ?
