Ok.. hard to tell what the FUD is going on in there.. so I avoid it. But wasn't the 'plan' or according to some 'announcement' that a HF would come NEXT YEAR i.e. 2017
And that HF was 1->2 MB max block size increase...
This was apparently agreed upon to be rolled out NEXT Year.. specifically around July time.. with the caveat 'if there is a demand/need for it'
It was generally agreed to roll out SEGWIT this year.. see how things go and move towards a HF next year.
At least that is how i remember the news coming out.
At least one person disagree with you. Happens to be an important one.
