That's non-trivial to implement; it seems to me that a conscious decision by the miners/pools to support or not support is less work and safer. @p{par}

Luke proposed something similar earlier, though; I'm surprised his patches don't implement it. @p{par}

I like whoever proposed that the string in the coinbase refer to the BIP, in the future that's the way it should be done. @p{par}

RE: schedules: @p{par}

Deadlines, as we've just seen, have a way of focusing attention.  OP_EVAL got, essentially, zero review/testing (aside from my own) until a month before the deadline. @p{par}

It seems to me one-to-two months is about the right amount of time to get thorough review and testing of this type of backwards-compatible change. Longer deadlines just mean people get busy working on other things and ignore the issue. @p{brk}
