Doesn't a good soft fork signaling mechanism along with an activation warning system for non-upgraded nodes (i.e. BIP9, or even block version ISM for that matter) essentially fix this? I don't quite get why this should be an issue.

As only about 1/3 of nodes support BIP65 now, would you consider CLTV tx are less secure than others? I don&#39;t think so. Since one invalid CLTV tx will make the whole block invalid. Having more nodes to fully validate non-CLTV txs won&#39;t make them any safer.
