I support SegWit  Grin
I forgot to mention in my previous post, that this is a healthy stance to have as the majority of the technology oriented participants of the ecosystems are fully backing Segwit.

I could get behind Achow101's proposal (the link in that linuxfoundation text ended with an extraneous "." which breaks the link) if that one proves less contentious.
I think it does, as it doesn't initially reduce the block size. This is what made luke-jr's proposal extremely contentious and effectively useless.

I'd also consider tweaking mine to a lower percentage if that helped, or possibly even a flat 0.038MB if we wanted an absolute guarantee that there was no conceivable way it could increase by more than 1MB in the space of a year. 
I don't like fixed increases in particular either. Percentage based movements in both directions would be nice, but the primary problem with those is preventing the system from being gamed. Even with 10%, eventually this 10% is going to be a lot. Who's to say that at a later date, such movements would be technologically acceptable?
