I personally think the block size should increase, by the way, but only if we can do it under a policy of doing it after technological growth has been shown to be sufficient to support it without increased risk.

Can you be more specific about this? What risks are you worried about?

I've tried to cover all that I've heard about in my blog posts about why I think the risks of 20MB blocks are outweighed by the benefits, am I missing something?

(blog posts are linked from http://gavinandresen.ninja/time-to-roll-out-bigger-blocks )

There is the "a sudden jump to a 20MB max might have unforseen consequences" risk that I don't address, but a dynamic increase would fix that.
