We do need to have in place shortly the ability to increase the block size....
And thats what is happening - no argument there.
so that some time down the track when the pools/miners believe it would be ideal to increase it, that will be possible without the crap that is going on now.
So its just a question of scheduling? Fair enough. But if the larger portion of Miners and Pools want them sooner than you, you will support them, right?
I don't support the client changes in XT and I don't support the BIP101 central control and scare tactics increase of block size.
I do support BIP100 since it does not use central control to decide block size.
BIP100 allows for what you said.
