Again, for the last time: Bitcoin Core maintainer does not decide about protocol or consensus level changes. This is not a role for me. Find someone else, if you think you need an arbiter.

BTW: for more exposure a proposal is better posted as a new thread, not as a deep reply to an existing topic. Wladimir
