I think I have explained my motivation but let me try to make it
clearer.
For example, BIP62 says "scriptPubKey evaluation will be required to
result in a single non-zero value". If we had BIP62 before BIP16, P2SH
could not be done in the current form because BIP16 leaves more than one
element on the stake for non-upgrading nodes. BIP17 also violates BIP62.
BIP68 is "only enforced if the most significant bit of the sequence
number field is set.", so it is optional, anyway. All I do is to move
the flag from sequence number to version number.
The blocksize debate shows how a permanent softfork may cause trouble
later. We need to be very careful when doing further softforks, making
sure we will have enough flexibility for further development.
