Keep memeing bro, the fork won't stunt decentralization as i have said before because by the time the blocks reach 20mb the storage space on the average computer will scale with it.

Cool story, why does the decision have to be made now though?
Because it'll be harder to achieve consensus later? That would simply mean the fork wasn't really needed in the first place.

If the fork is actually necessary in the future it should follow that at that point consensus will be easier to achieve?

A consensus will never happen even if we hit the limit and have a traffic jam of confirmations, it can wait but I think that just delaying it will keep people more on edge then just moving on. The fears seem pretty irrational such as centralization (killing private nodes due to size) and less security, but it may end up being a good idea to delay it and let it blocks congest where we have super long confirmations but then my worry is that a fork will be rushed or even worse two forks will come at a similar time from two different sources and then we TRULY have an issue.
