+>>Maybe I missed something, but why does this change require a hard fork?
+
+I guess you are right that it doesn't technically require a hard fork, but
+I see this proposal as more likely being merged with other hard fork or
+soft fork features. It depends on which upgrades are happening at the time.
+If there's a specific soft fork being proposed to merge this proposal with,
+I can update it.
+
+>> I'm also concerned about the coordination required to get into The One
+OP_RETURN Per Block, as this certainly requires some measure of
+centralization of that Merkle Tree construction.
+
+This will be discussed further in a future BIP, but the basic idea is that
+each miner can run an additional piece of software that builds the tree
+structure. It's much like submitting a transaction to the network today, if
+one of the miners does not accept it, another likely will.
+
+>> Some of those OP_RETURN outputs have non-zero value. As such, those
+outputs are provably unspendable, and they are essentially paying the rest
+of the coin holders via supply deflation.
+
+Good point, there are other ways to do proof of burn.
+
+>> Finally, Bitcoin nodes may safely discard OP_RETURN outputs at any time,
+since they are unspendable. Thus, nodes can clear a few GB of disk space
+whenever they need it, but that data is less than 1% of the total chain
+size at the time of writing.
+
+Yes, but that doesn't affect IBD.
