After Gavin's latest Bip proposal for a 2MB block size upgrade, I would bet a lot of people will jump in that direction because it is the popular choice and we will see a block size increase before the halving. This little patch can have dire consequences in the future for the political shift it might develop.
You cannot put Band-aid on a gunshot wound and tell people the patient will survive. The doctor will get paid, but the patient might just die. I guess it is all about the power.
The majority is most often wrong and thus this would not surprise me one bit. Once we let a single political fork change the rules of the system, where does it end? Who's to say that there won't be other fundamental changes via other forks? Once you let this succeed, there is no coming back.
Halving all the way, and at this rat you might be asking this same question in a few years
Every year or two if we scale by increasing the block size.
