linearly based on the block's timestamp. The maximum size of blocks after
2036-01-06 00:00:00 UTC shall be 8,192,000,000 bytes.
Since it's possible that block timestamps aren't chronological in order, what
would happen if a block following a size increase trigger is back in the past
before the size increase? Would that block have a lower size restriction again?
Would using block height not be a more stable number to work with?
