The XT developers could probably defend against the "decentralization" argument by implementing IBLT to speed block propagation and ultimate blockchain compression to reduce disk usage before increasing the block size. But that would probably take years and they don't have years, so never mind.

IBLT is basically already implemented and deployed as part of TheBlueMatt's relay network. Improvements to scaling isn't going to come from IBLT.
