Arriving slightly late to the discussion, apologies.
Personally I wouldn't have written that patch, but I know development of
hostile patches happens out of sight, and if it can be written, we have
to presume it will be written eventually. I'd have
Peter,
You did not address me but libbitcoin. Since our story and your evaluation is
probably similar, I chime in.

I haven't bothered reading the thread, but I'll put this out there:
The consensus critical Satoshi-derived sourcecode is a protocol
*specification* that happens to also be machine readable and executable.
Rewriting it is just as silly as as taking RFC 791 and rewriting it
because you wanted to
Strongly with Peter on this. That its highly complex to maintain strict
consensus between bitcoin versions, does not justify consensus rewrite
experiments; it tells you that the risk is exponentially worse and people
should use and rally around libconsensus.
I would advise any bitcoin ecosystem

Correct. However, those maintenance costs absolutely do justify working
towards formal proofs of

Peter,
We have seen that the consensus critical code practically extends to Berkley
DB limits or OpenSSL laxness, therefore
it is inconceivable that a consensus library is not the same as Bitcoin
Core, less its P2P
