Actually, the economy does not necessarily include miners, and in fact the=
=20
present miner community for the most part does not overlap significantly wi=
th=20
economic activity. And at the same time, miners also have a tendency to=20
upgrade at a different rate than the economy. It might make sense to=20
incorporate a miner-trigger, but *only if* the flag is enabled in nodes by =
an=20
option disabled by default, and the BIP clearly specifies that miners must =
not=20
enable it until they perceive complete economic adoption of the change.
