By that metric, no soft fork would ever pass.&#xA;&#xA;I disagree. I think you can persuade nodes to support your cause. But setting a countdown before you&#39;ve done that is foolhardy and likely to get you kicked off the network.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; The OP_IF restriction in BIP-110 applies specifically to Tapleaves in Taproot scripts&#xA;&#xA;And it is a bad idea because miniscript uses that feature in a perfectly innocent way and there is no good reason to break it.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; It&#39;s temporary (one year, auto-expiry)&#xA;&#xA;If bip110 fans think it&#39;s okay to do the partial ban now, then the same reasons that make them think so will probably make them think it&#39;s okay to extend the ban a year from now. Conversely, if they have reasons for thinking it would be bad to continue the ban next year, then just apply those reasons right now, and don&#39;t do the ban in the first place.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; The fix for affected wallets is splitting OP_IF branches into separate Tapleaves, which Taproot best practice already recommends&#xA;&#xA;That is not always recommended. OP_IF is in taproot in part to retain a lot of compatibility with previously written scripts and compilers, including miniscript. Moreover, there are frequent occasions when it is more efficient to use OP_IF than it is to use another tapleaf. BIP110 acts as if OP_IF is a bad thing when in fact it is a good thing.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Lightning unaffected. Multisig unaffected.&#xA;&#xA;It is strange to list all the things that &#34;aren&#39;t&#34; affected instead of addressing the things that &#34;are&#34; affected. Miniscript. Nunchuk. Bitvault.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Existing UTXOs [are] permanently exempt&#xA;&#xA;Utxos received into affected wallets after BIP110 activates (*if* it activates) are not exempt. I&#39;d be okay with BIP110 if it just exempts those potential future utxos too.</html></oembed>
