By the way, I don't think that devs' intentions are anything else than good, ...

agreed, but good intentions, never did anyone any good.
i'll take a bad solutions over good intentions anyday.

You don't think they'll be welcomed back with open arms do you?
Face it, Mike & Gavin are Bitcoin history at this point, a footnote at that.

With suggested 4-year manual steps of block size increase, we might as well approximate the curve suggested in BIP101, but only for as long as it serves the interests of Bitcoin.

Who decides what those interests are? We do.
The ones who populate the network with full nodes.

OP is right. There should not be all this fuss. Just raise the block and move on. As I understand it, blockstream could be also implemented on bigger blocks.

Correct.
But only if it's shown to not significantly shift the incentives structure, that has proven to work so well for the original Bitcoin.
