The current proposal is that a 64-byte signature will be used for the =
default =E2=80=9Csigning all=E2=80=9D sighash, and 65-byte for other =
sighash types. The space saved will allow a few more txs in a block, so =
I think it worths doing. However, this also makes witness weight =
estimation more difficult in multisig cases.

This idea of signing witness weight has been brought up before. I think =
the concern is the difficulty to estimate the witness weight for complex =
scripts, which need this feature most. So it will work when it is not =
needed, and will not work when it is needed.

Is there any script example that witness size malleability is =
unavoidable?
