Consensus is building, if you had bothered to follow any recent events.
Just because two twats offer up a "fork now or everything is naught" kind of tactic, doesn't mean that people can't decide for themselves. The growing consensus is closer to 4MB - 8MB, and depending on how the relevant BIPs (Bitcoin Improvement Proposals) fare, we'll see this integrated into the core client in due time.
We're not hitting any real transaction limits anyway, so the whole mega-drama about how we need it RIGHT NOW is a bit overstated.
