It's interesting how changing the bit used to signal could be used as a way=

code. Basically, the narrative would be that other software *doesn't* suppo=
rt
segwit, so you have to upgrade right away.

linfry:segsignal but didnt get around to posting to the ML yet. This effect=

0% or whatever was preferable.

In contrast this proposal wouldn't have that effect, because as you point o=
ut
it's compatibel with the existing segwit protocol once activated.

Smells like political engineering to me.
