> the last thing we need is
a rushed upgrade
Why do you think this is rushed? Speedy Trial will have few months and if UASF
is required it won't involve activation immediately after ST fails. Taproot by
2022 doesn't look rushed approach IMO.
> We're not changing things that we worked out already.
Which things have we worked out that cannot be changed or not changed earlier?
> how long till we go back and change the coin supply?
Coin supply has nothing to do with soft fork activation mechanism IMO.

Taproot activation or discussion about activation mechanism does not have 100%
correlation with mass adoption. It just improves Bitcoin and helps few projects
mentioned in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Taproot_Uses
Nobody is talking about get rich quick schemes in Taproot Activation related
meetings. At least I have not seen anyone.
> If you want faster development cycles then you have lightning to play with.
Better development cycles with less delay, less misinformation, less politics,
less probability of things being exploited by mining pools or other people,
organization etc. with their influence. Lightning Network is a separate project
focused on layer 2 and I think it will also benefit from Taproot.
> we *DO NOT* change things we already established in the past
Interested to know who is "we" in this sentence and what are the "things" that
cannot be changed.

LOT has become LOL. If this is about Bitcoin Core maintainers deciding things
for Bitcoin Core, sure they already do. But users have the freedom to decide if
they want to run it with default settings or use other implementation.

Agree

Everyone should be welcome to participate in meetings, ask questions, learn
more and contribute. I don't see anything wrong with it.
