Any potential crisis now averted. Log edited for brevity.
21:58 BlueMatt: just got back... yes, I'd like to have a 0.6 rc1 soon
22:07 I'd like to talk about what to tell the miners who have already deployed BIP 16.
22:07 And talk about theymos' proposal for how to proceeed.
22:08 I was under the impression btc-guild was going to implement bip 16 later today and then [Tycho] would do it thereafter as a result
22:08 but i am in strong favour of theymos proposal
22:08 so then we get >50%
22:08 i think it is a great idea.
22:09 I strongly feel that we don't need more time to discuss/debate, that there is (and has been) rough consensus
22:11 I'd completely support theymos being a reality check on that, though.
22:11 why not try theymos idea? it would be a good test case for a small thing to learn how to do this in the future.
22:11 i called him 'organiser' there, but 'facilitator' is more accurate.
22:12 I believe that the most competent people are already burning out on this. Luke is saying that he's going to take a break. Gavin is clearly 'done' with the dispute.
22:14 Because I believe we are going to get >50% mining power on bip16 in the next few weeks, I say just continue by rolling a release candidate of 0.6 with bip16 set to start being enforced on March 1st
22:14 and then release when we hit 50%+
22:30 gavinandresen: are you sure 0.6 will make it by feb 15?
22:30 even if we push rc1 tomorrow...
