Price has already almost fully recovered from that. Those were just speculators that thought the market would respond much stronger to this proposal.

IMO the mini drop with the fast retrace only shows that the people are actually going to be inclined to go with it just to get it over with.

The only issue I have with a solution like this (if there are not other changes in the code), is that in a few years the same discussion will be started again, with a bigger network that is at a bigger risk when hard forking.
