I think it should be clear that a UASF-style command line option to allow co=
nsensus rule changes in the node in the short term, immediately before a for=
k carries some risk of a fork, even if I agree it may not persist over month=
s. We can=E2=80=99t simply ignore that.

Between this and your above point, I think we probably agree - there is mate=
rial  technical complexity hiding behind a =E2=80=9Cchange the consensus rul=
es=E2=80=9C option. Given it=E2=80=99s not a critical feature by any means, p=
utting resources into fixing these issues probably isn=E2=80=99t worth it.
