There seem to be a few people who want some OTHER algorithm for increasing the block size, but I'm hearing very broad consensus that we do need a hard fork to increase the size. @p{par}

That is progress. @p{par}

I'll be running some experiments using actual blockchain data to see where the current code breaks; if it can already handle 20MB blocks then I'll work through the details to propose a hard fork (write BIPs, write code, write tests, ...). @p{brk}
