Considering the average gas price for the past couple weeks has been above 20 gwei, that the current recommended "safe low" is at 26 gwei, and that people are actively getting bitten by this, we should step on the gas.
A doubling of the original value feels a bit drastic, but the user experience of endlessly waiting on transactions isn't nice at all. In practice, we use whatever the gasstation-recommended value is though, and we can always pull this back down later.
(This change will, of course, have to be reflected in the gas tank as well.)
