+So there are 3 proposals with similar goal but different designs. I try =
+to summarise some questions below:
+
+1. How do we allow further upgrade within v1 witness? Here are some =
+options:
+a. Minor version in witness. (Johnson / Luke) I prefer this way, but we =
+may end up with many minor versions.
+b. OP_RETURNTRUE (Luke). I proposed this in an earlier version of BIP114 =
+but now I think it doesn=E2=80=99t interact well with signature =
+aggregation, and I worry that it would have some other unexpected =
+effects.
+c. Generalised NOP method: user has to provide the returned value, so =
+even VERIFY-type code could do anything
+
+2. Do we want to allow signature-time commitment of extra scripts?
+I think all proposals allow this, just with different way
+a. Tail-call semantics with CHECKSIGFROMSTACK (Mark). I think this is =
+too rigid as it works only with specially designed scriptPubKey
+b. scriptWitCode: extra scripts are put in some fixed location in =
+witness (Johnson). This makes sure static analysability.
+c. Extra-data as script in OP_CHECKSIG (Luke)
+
+3. Do we want to allow static analysis of sigop?
+BIP114 and the related proposals are specifically designed to allow =
+static analysis of sigop. I think this was one of the main reason of =
+OP_EVAL not being accepted. This was also the main reason of Ethereum =
+failing to do a DAO hacker softfork, leading to the ETH/ETC split. I=E2=80=
+=99m not sure if we really want to give up this property. Once we do it, =
+we have to support it forever.
