Edit: Will you be supporting any efforts to kill off the 1mb chain after the fork? Sorry last edit

I am sure he won't. He has load of important stuff to move onto.

The problem with the 1MB chain is that difficulty will be so high for the few miners left on it that it will take a year for diff to fall until 10 minute blocks are happening again.
Every 2016 blocks the diff can only fall 75%, so it won't be usable for several adjustments, and these will take massive amounts of time.
