The first question to answer here is simple:
What value would there be in requiring a minimum block size?
I see no value.

<div>as with the current "max block size" debate I was
wondering: Is anyone here in favor of a minimum block
size (say 2 MB or so)? If so I would be interested in an
exchange (maybe off-list) of ideas. I am in favor of a
