Etch, if nanotechnology quantum device processes can be developed with a fast enough production thruput (hopefully due to simplified substrate/device processing techniques) there may not be a requirement to even develop larger substrates. We must think out of the box....a completely new technology is on the short/intermediate term horizon that will totally change the requirements for advanced chip device fabrication. I'd rather see development efforts and R&D money spent developing the next generation technologies than trying to stretch legacy processing techniques ad infinitum.
