I see no reason why fees can't pay for a pretty hefty pow network when there's no block reward but thousands of transactions a second and $30k-$70k coins. Any artificial scarcity on this front now will strangle Bitcoin.
I agree. Though I am not actually all that worried about the block size limit as I believe the dynamics of Bitcoin will ensure it is disposed of. If not in good time then in time enough.
I'm more of a cheerleader for the process than for any decision in particular.
