+
+I do not withdraw my NACK (and kudos: there have been few attempts to
+pressure me to do so!).
+
+The core question always was: what do we do if miners fail to activate?
+
+Luke-Jr takes the approach that "we (i.e developers) ensure it activates
+anyway". I take the approach that "the users must make a direct
+intervention". Speedy Trial takes the approach that "let's pretend we
+didn't *actually* ask them".
+
+It's totally a political approach, to avoid facing the awkward question.
+Since I believe that such prevaricating makes a future crisis less
+predictable, I am forced to conclude that it makes bitcoin less robust.
+
+Personally, I think the compromise position is using LOT=false and
+having those such as Luke and myself continue working on a LOT=true
+branch for future consideration. It's less than optimal, but I
+appreciate that people want Taproot activated more than they want
+the groundwork future upgrades.
+
+I hope that helps,
+Rusty.
