As noted, many miners just accept the defaults. With your proposed change their target would effectively drop from 1mb to 800kb today, which seems crazy. That's the exact opposite of what is needed right now.

I am very skeptical about this idea.

By the time a hard fork can happen, I expect average block size will be above 500K.

Would you support a rule that was "larger of 1MB or 2x average size" ? That is strictly better than the situation we're in today.
