Hey Antoine and everyone,

exception is now exploited perpetually, it doesn=E2=80=99t serve its intend=

confirm their own non-standard transactions. In that case, it would be=20

I would suggest to pick a date that=E2=80=99s not a holiday in many places =
to=20
avoid disrupting people=E2=80=99s holiday, how about 2026-01-01 instead?
