seems OP_ CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY merging into mainline
Although serial Counterparty disparager Flavien "coinprism" charlon suggests
  counterparty cannot benefit from this, I think he may be mistaken. Can anyone chime in to suggest otherwise?

Sounds very interesting.  I'd like to know too.

Counterparty doesn't benefit from the introduction of `OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY`, but you can easily code identical (or much greater) functionality into Counterparty smart contracts. Counterparty already has infinitely more features than Colored Coins could ever have, because Colored Coins is just Bitcoin + tokens. To add a feature to Colored Coins, you have to fork Bitcoin itself; to add a feature to Counterparty, you just have to write it up and send it out.
