I believe we should consider what the situation was. Segwit would not have activated if the risk of the UASF wasn't taken. Segwit was running out of time.
That's a misstatement of the station though one advocates of BIP148 were promoting. No proposal that people are still interested in can run out of time. If the window on the bip9 signalling had closed a new one would have been started.
Thanks for the clarification.
But would Segwit have activated without the initialization of BIP148, or would the miners have continued blocking it?
I believe "another UASF" would have come.
