I have to admit that this is the first time I'm seeing the 'uacomment' option. I was not aware of it's existence although I have long ago noticed the discrepancies in the client descriptions. That being said, I think that this is a very good idea to show support. I highly recommend spreading the exact command (as found in the main thread) along the main communication channels:
I shall restart all my clients with this flag soon.

Now the LTC is going with SegWit it would be wise to let that coin lead the way and prove the concepts are sound. This is an opportunity for Bitcoin to take a smaller more prudent step and come up with something that both the miners and users can live with.
There is already 1 coin which has already activated SegWit.Getting back on topic it seems like UASF is just a backdoor way to try and force SegWit. Seriously if SegWit can't stand on its own then there is a problem.
This statement is nonsense. UASF is a decent proposal; definitely not a backdoor. SW has near unanimous developer approval, supermajority of users and the economy approval; AntPool is holding the network hostage due to ASICBoost.Comedy relief:
