You shouldn't rely on that, some may start a= pplying the restrictions in their own blocks at 0% and others only at 90%. = Until it becomes a consensus rule it is just part of the standard policy (a= nd we shouldn't rely on nodes following the standard policy).


It would be a consen= sus rule.=C2=A0 If >75% of the blocks in the last 2016 window have the b= it set, then reject all blocks that have the bit set and fail to meet the r= ule.
