I dont think [Bitcoin Unlimited] is a good idea, Voegtlin said during the interview. Its really a big change; its a change in the structure of power in Bitcoin. Its a very risky hard fork. He went on to suggest that since the recent AsicBoost scandal, a lot of people have changed their mind on this and no longer support Bitcoin Unlimited.

I would like to agree with what the Electrum Developer Thomas Voegtlin said that bitcoin unlimited is not a good idea since if we really look at the hardfork it has many bugs and it not feasible for bitcoin at this moment. But later in time if bitcoin is ready for a hardfork then maybe that will be the time that bitcoin unlimited will come into the picture.

I dont think [Bitcoin Unlimited] is a good idea, Voegtlin said - he never said he as 100% sure. "I don't think" implies one isn't 100% sure but somewhat on the fence so to speak.
