Will SegWit be mandatory deployed since Aug. 1?

I've read from a post from a Chinese forum that in BIP 148: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0148.mediawiki

the "mandatory" start time of originally suggested Oct. 1 was predated to Aug. 1.

Although the proposal is written "soft fork", when no concensus is made till Aug. 1, will a hard fork suddenly occur at that time?

So my questions: What is actually written in this code, and is this BIP accepted and will be released in the new Core version?


BIP 148 (aka UASF) is not accepted by pretty much all developers. It has not been accepted by Core nor is it likely to be accepted and implemented by Core. As of now, the segwit implementation in Core is as is specified in the segwit BIPs, which do not include BIP 148.
