OR, what if someone wants Schnorr+Taproot blocked like how Jihan Wu wanted Segwit blocked because it disables an exploit/covert-ASIC-boost?
segwit specifically broke bitmain's covert ASICboost scheme. is there a similar parallel here? i don't think so.
i think segwit established that BIP9 is an inferior activation method. miners should be able to accelerate activation
but not block it. a BIP8-style flag day activation---done on
a reasonably long time frame vs
BIP148---seems appropriate.
i do hope we can avoid another recklessly hasty fork like BIP148.
Miner-signalling is only for that purpose, to signal that they're ready for an upgrade. It was never intended to be a political tool to exert control for themselves, and what they want for the network. BIP148 was merely a reaction from the community.
