Yes there are similarities but also some important differences. See my
response here:
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-December/012085.html
In short my proposal is compatible with conventional blocksize limit
hardfork ideas, like BIP101, BIP202, 2-4-8 etc. etc.

That's the whole point. After a conventional hardfork everyone needs to
upgrade, but there is no way to force users to upgrade. A user who is
simply unaware of the fork, or disagrees with the fork, uses the old
client and the currency splits.
Under this proposal old clients effectively enter "zombie" mode, forcing
users to upgrade.
