There is still quite a bit of discussion on segwit and block size increase hard forks. None of it is being instantly deleted. Those threads have just not been posted as much because there are already threads discussing segwit and other proposals. All of the arguments for and against all of the proposals have basically been discussed to death already.

Any thread on this.. or is still an instant delete subject... I use to be very anti big block but after  buying a 4tb harddrive for $120... I am changing my tune.. I can't see how the blocksize scaling at half of moores law causes any issues..
There's more to it than just disk space. You also have to consider network bandwidth usage and processing power for processing blocks.

Also, segwit is a block size increase as the data per block being sent over the wire will be larger than now.

I read some stuff on segwit.. seems like a lot of changes in one go.  Alas some to complicated for me to get :S. It has been sounding promising though.
