I don’t understand your framing of “emergency temporary measures.” That logic applies to centralized systems where a small group can extend powers at will. This isn’t that. It’s a soft fork with a built-in expiry at a specific block height. It self-expires. Extending it would require a new round of consensus. And if it’s not working as intended or if meaningful monetary use cases emerge over the next 18 months - I don’t see how it would get that consensus. BitVM falls into that bucket too. At this stage it’s not a proven monetary use case. It’s closer to an Ethereum-style experimentation sandbox than to something that strengthens Bitcoin’s monetary function. There isn’t a single production-grade deployment demonstrating durable demand - just philosophical whataboutism about what might exist someday. What puzzles me about the criticism of BIP110 is the inconsistency. If it were permanent, critics would call it reckless and irreversible. When it’s explicitly temporary precisely because it could carry risk - they still call it reckless, now because it might not be permanent. It sounds less like risk analysis and more like reflexive opposition. 🤔

Maybe because different people have different opinions? Btw, this is not "my" framing, this is their framing: "The one-year deployment allows the community to evaluate the impact while developers work on a longer-term solution. Some restrictions would severely constrain future upgrades if permanent, but are acceptable for a limited time to address the immediate crisis." In other words, this solution sucks, but we have nothing better right now & there's an urgent matter that needs to be adressed right now. (which urgent matter, we are left to our imaginaion 😂) Sincerely, I find it painful to discuss this matter with you since you talk like you know, and yet didn't even read the proposal itself. Also, that moving the goalpost each time proven wrong... That's not serious: Bitcoin deserves better considerations & care when it comes to touching the consensus. 🤔
