I think I've discussed this type of concept previously somewhere but cannot
find a link to where.
Largely, I think the following:

it raises it:

Hi Russell,

Ironically assumptions of bad faith are going to kill any proposal,
resulting in the status quo.
Let's keep the assumption of good faith, unless you are actually accusing
people of being a NSA-adjacent asset.

sheshek found some issues with the list and some of them are not really an
opposition for CTV.

The argument is that transactions which can be relayed and in the mempool
and then confirmed should not ever be restricted.
This is so that old node's

Hi Michael,
Sorry, if my critique of your opinions feels too personal to you. This is
nothing personal. As you probably know, one of the most effective attack
vectors on Bitcoin is to target the social layer by sabotaging the protocol
development[1]. Bike shedding is an easy way to cause a lot
Hi Michael,
I'm sympathetic to the idea of allowing time for the community to absorb,
review, analyze, discuss, etc any new substantial change to bitcoin,
especially consensus changes. I certainly think that over time the
frequency of soft forks should generally go down on average, with
@DavidHarding
Interesting proposal to revert consensus changes. Is it possible to do this for
soft forks that are already activated?
Example: Some users are not okay with witness discount in segwit transactions

Missed one for part 2:
Shesek's social recovery wallet using CTV to enforce timelocks without
expiry, using his Minsc toolchain:

Probably merits a more thorough response, but, I wanted to respond on the
framework above:
1a) can you make transactions using the new feature with bitcoin-cli,
eg createrawtransaction etc? (*YES)*
since ~Feb 2020, this has existed:
