Thank you for all your comments. I will improve the BIP ba= sed on the technical suggestions received.=C2=A0

On the = subjective/political side that has slipped into this discussion. Skip this = part if not interested in politics.

The draft BIP text looks like an afterthought and does= n't actually specify the proposal in enough detail to implement from th= e text.

I think the b= est you can hope for this hard fork proposal is for it to be quietly ignore= d.

Reference source was = kindly provided by the Segwit2x group.
