That is scary. March 2016 is looking more and more that it might be too late.
But I'm sure the blockstream guys only see the emergence of fee pressure that will push people onto sidechains.
The whole blocksize debate has been theoretical so far. But once people's transactions start to backlog the discussion will take a very different turn. People want to be able to transaction directly with Bitcoin in an affordable manner. That is the entire ethos of the project.

Brute force (increasing block size limit) is not a solution .. we need something smarter than "The bigger stone the bigger hammer"
edit: 100 kg hammer is not practical :-)
edit2: we need jackhammer
