NACK
Horrible precedent (hardcoding rule changes based on the assumption that lar=
ge forks indicate a catastrophic failure), extremely poor process (already s=
hipped, now the discussion), and not even a material performance optimizatio=
n (the checks are avoidable once activated until a sufficiently deep reorg d=
eactivates them).
