Hi Eric,

Thanks for chiming in.

> This kind of discontinuity always comes back to bite eventually. That con=
cern should not be dismissed so casually.

I don't think i've dismissed your concern when you brought this up last yea=
r. In fact i link to my summary of arguments on both sides of this debate i=
n the BIP: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/great-consensus-cleanup-revival/710=
/41.

> But more to the point, it does not solve any of the problems that were or=
iginally provided as justification, apart from making it slightly simpler t=
o implement an SPV wallet (no need to get the coinbase tx).

I did provide an incorrect motivation at some point (caching), and apprecia=
te your correction on this. But the main original motivation for invalidati=
ng 64 bytes transactions was always to get rid of the footgun for SPV verif=
iers. For instance see Matt's original BIP: https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/=
bips/blob/7f9670b643b7c943a0cc6d2197d3eabe661050c2/bip-XXXX.mediawiki#discu=
ssion.

And as Sjors points out SPV verifiers shouldn't be reduced to only SPV wall=
ets.

> If people agree that this is a worthwhile trade, I'm not going to lose an=
y sleep over it.

This is my position and the reason why i included it in my BIP. Of course i=
ntroducing this discontinuity is pretty ugly. I just believe it's less bad =
than keeping the weakness that 64 bytes transaction introduce.

I am also not married to the idea. In fact, i think it's one of the less im=
portant fixes from the proposal. But as things stand i think it's preferabl=
e to include it. Of course i am happy to reconsider in the face of new argu=
ments and/or data.

Best,
Antoine
