Can we separate the blocksize 'debate' from a SegWit upgrade?

Some of the benefits of SegWit include:

  • Malleability Fixes.
  • Linear scaling of sighash operations.
  • Signing of input values.
  • Increased security for multisig via pay-to-script-hash (P2SH).
  • Script versioning.
  • Reducing UTXO growth.
  • Efficiency gains when not verifying signatures.

Regardless of your position on block size surely there would be unanimous support for these features/fixes/improvements?

Can we change the narrative going forward to unite all bitcoiners on this as a separate technical issue, and debate a block size/hardfork on its own merits?
