I'm all for compromise, but still feel that any static, fixed size is a clumsy and crude solution. As many have argued previously, it's merely kicking the can down the road. SegWit plus a
modified hybrid of BIP100 and BIP106 would be more flexible, adaptable and future-proof. Not only that, but a sudden, arbitrary one-time surge in space leads to uncertainty and the possibility of abuse by spammers. The change is healthier being gradual and predictable.
