People need to shift their focus towards making propagation times better rather than explaining potential situations relating to fees. If we had a better way of propagation right now, we would not be having this discussion.

Totally agree with you. If we find a way to make propagation times better we will than be able to increase the block size. If not, block size increase, in my opinion, with make new nodes harder to exist and then result in a centralisation of the actuel node. There was a talk about that this week end, short and clear. We need to resolve propagation times before talking about block size.

Im curious to know what was said during the dev meet up during roundtable 2 of day 2.

Isn't pruned nodes supposed to help increasing propagation times?

Suppose to but still not perfect. The communication with the china and there great firewall make propagation a big problem for big miner.
I was in scaling montreal and I did try to learn more about network problem with Matt Corallo and Rusty Russell and the network problem seems to be the place we should focus before working on bigger block size. A big farm ceo even said he created a node system to be sure to reach more node quickly to eliminate orphan.
