I think (in contrast to global politics) we should follow the most intelligent people, and Meni is certainly smarter than most people here.

So, I support the idea. Just that 2T is a bit high, will that work? I mean, will it be possible to download  a blockchain with 2T blocks in it? A 2T blockchain consisting of smaller blocks is not an issue, but what happens if the download gets stuck DURING the 2T?

Is the Bitcoin client ready to download blocks partially and continue after a crash/shutdown/process kill?
