If my company were working on spiffy new ideas that required a hard fork to implement, I'd be rather dismayed to see the blocksize hard fork happen *before those ideas were ready*. Because then I'd eventually have to convince people that those ideas were worth a hard fork all on their own. It would be much easier to convince people to roll them in with the already necessary blocksize hard fork, if that event could be delayed. As far as I know, Blockstream representatives have never said that waiting for other changes to be ready is a reason to delay the blocksize hard fork. So if this were the real reason, it would suggest they have been hiding their true motives for making such a fuss about the blocksize issue. I've got no evidence at all to support thoughts like this... just the paranoid mindset that seems to infect a person who gets involved in bitcoin. But the question is every bit as valid as Adam's query into your motives.
