Why not grow it by 1 MB per year? This is a safer option, I don't think that anybody claims that 2 MB blocks will be a problem. And in 10 years when we get to 10 MB we'll get more evidence as to whether network can handle 10 MB blocks. So this might be a solution which would satisfy both sides: * people who are concerned about block size growth will have an opportunity to stop it before it grows too much (e.g. with a soft fork), * while people who want bigger blocks will get an equivalent of 25% per year growth within the first 10 years, which isn't bad, is it? So far I haven't heard any valid arguments against linear growth.
