If fees ever do get too crazy I'd support a block size limit increase too, but I don't expect that to happen for over a decade if ever.
i think the point is that we cannot wait that it become necessary to increase the blocksize, to actually increase it, we must forecast this, before it happen
if it happen next year what you will do, proceed to fork anyway and built even a bigger mess than what we are facing right now?
if it must be done at some point, it's better to do it early, it's always like that for every thing, not only bitcoin
