Hi Jeremy,

tion.

I tend to agree. This kind of discontinuity always comes back to bite event=
ually. That concern should not be dismissed so casually.

But more to the point, it does not solve any of the problems that were orig=
inally provided as justification, apart from making it slightly simpler to =
implement an SPV wallet (no need to get the coinbase tx). This was discusse=
d at very great length here and on delving by myself and others, and I beli=
eve that it was fully accepted that the only justification is this SPV ques=
tion. There are no issues of security or performance for any code, and not =
even a code simplification for a node. It's a new consensus rule that creat=
es this discontinuity - only to make an SPV wallet very slightly easier to =
implement. There is no other benefit whatsoever. I want to emphasize this b=
ecause in the discussion it still seems that people may be holding on to th=
e idea that it provides some other benefit - it doesn't. If people agree th=
at this is a worthwhile trade, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. But=
 I don't like seeing arguments about consensus being based on implementatio=
n details - especially when they are flawed. It feels very much to me that =
this is what got this issue going (the several rejected arguments about nod=
e performance and simplification), and may be in part what's still driving =
it.

I ACK the single activation concept, but don't accept that a rule should be=
 deployed that would not stand on its own justification.

Also, I do appreciate the work that Antoine and others have done on the set=
 of issues overall.

Best,
Eric
