a rushed upgrade

Why do you think this is r= ushed? Speedy Trial will have few months and if UASF is required it won't i= nvolve activation immediately after ST fails. Taproot by 2022 doesn't look = rushed approach IMO.

Which things have we worked out that cannot be changed= or not changed earlier?

> how long ti= ll we go back and change the coin supply?

Coin= supply has nothing to do with soft fork activation mechanism IMO.

Taproot activation or discussion about activation = mechanism does not have 100% correlation with mass adoption. It just improv= es Bitcoin and helps few projects mentioned in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Taproot_Uses

Nobody is talking about get rich quick schemes in Ta= proot Activation related meetings. At least I have not seen anyone.

> If you want faster deve= lopment cycles then you have lightning to play wi= th.

Better development cycles with less delay,= less misinformation, less politics, less probability of things being explo= ited by mining pools or other people, organization etc. with their influenc= e. Lightning Network is a separate project focused on layer 2 and I think i= t will also benefit from Taproot.

Inter= ested to know who is "we" in this sentence and what are the "things" that c= annot be changed.

LOT h= as become LOL. If this is about Bitcoin Core maintainers deciding things fo= r Bitcoin Core, sure they already do. But users have the freedom to decide = if they want to run it with default settings or use other implementation.

Everyone should be welcome to part= icipate in meetings, ask questions, learn more and contribute. I don't see = anything wrong with it.
