I support ossification.
Given what you just said, what do you think about activating CTV and https://anyprevout.xyz/? Are they subject to the same issues? If not, do you support these, or one of these?

I tend to agree with your point on drive chains, there really is no rush and we have more pressing matters at hand. But ossification? We are going to need a hard fork eventually (timestamps), and we should think about getting that done while were all still alive to pull it off, and I'd argue we should do it without wipeout protection meaning...soon, since we are playing against dangerous people like governments and financial institutions.
but you end up with a few cabals that understand and coopt the protocols when new development is kept out, like gmail. understand the risk of unforseen bugs with new additions, but Bitcoin as it currently behaves is quite difficult for many people to use and relatively hard to scale imo. it does all I need it to do in its current form, so I understand that sentiment, but I accept t could do some things better. You don't want to lose maintainers and upgrades, and that is more what ossification means.
As does anyone with a spine.
I mean that's just nutty. I understand not activating anything that hasn't been clearly communicated, I understand using BIP-08 instead of BIP-09, but to seriously be completely against an upgrade that makes implementing channel factories significantly simpler is asinine. On what principal? With what purpose? To what end?
