Looks like segwit will need to be hard forked. That should finally bring this issue to a close.
why? just combine it with a 2MB hardfork and everybody is happy.
Because segwit will need a hard fork is exactly the reason why the uncertainty over increasing the blocksize will be over soon.
We will soon enter political negotiations between the main camps where they will horse trade a 'peace' deal which will result in unity, therefore bringing things to a head.
Yah...one problem. They're all nerds. Do you know what that means?
They will still manage to fuck up a potential deal by talking about details leading to them falling out over something else, delaying things for so long we will need a 50mb block size increase?
