I mean, come on guys...
Current proposal from core is not gonna happen. If you really want Segwit, you need to back segwit HF.
No one reasonably wants to hardfork.
That is never going to happen anytime soon without a controversial hardfork.
If SegWit SF never gets accepted then other softforks will be proposed.
Hardforks, majority of the time, will only be implemented after an emergency.
Hardforks are an attack vector that is asking for trouble. If we can programmatically
avoid it and still get a gain, why risk it? We only risk it when all other options have
been exhausted. IMO, we haven't gotten there yet.
