No decision will likely to be made and Core will be forked.

Agreed. This is the last chance for Core to remain the reference client.

There is no point in a 1MB limit anymore because blocks can be reduced to a small fraction of their normal size during propagation.

Ideally, if we can cram this thing [IBLT] into two IP packets, he said. We are lightning fast.

AFAIK they already achieve that using the Relay Network. Could definitely be an improvement to have this baked into the protocol but from where I stand it does nothing to mitigate the externalization of costs to full nodes.
