I'll leave others to comment on whether we can get consensus on that,
but your years listed are inconsistent with everything else you've
written. Should be:
block 400,000 = 2MB (2016)
block 500,000 = 4MB (2018)
block 600,000 = 8MB (2020)

can't find a permanent solution - 2MB gives us a lot more
wiggle room in the interim at least; one of my concerns
with block size is 3 transactions per second is absolutely
tiny, and we need space for the network to search for an
equilibrium between volume and pricing without risk of an
adoption spike rendering it essentially unusable.<br>
<br>
I'd favour switching over by block height rather than
time, and I'd suggest that given virtually every
wallet/node out there will require testing (even if many
do not currently enforce a limit and therefore do not need
changing), 6 months should be considered a minimum target.
I'd open with a suggestion of block 390k as a target.<br>
