I fully agree with Christoph on this.

People that published completely made up “roadmaps” for cash mere weeks 
after the previous hardfork ended up doing quite a lot of damage. Which is 
rather sad.
Would be nice if we can actually work on important stuff, like scaling. Or 
even working on cleaning up technical debt instead of creating more.

In reply to your rationalization itself, maybe you can work with those 
miners and the ABC developer to understand their reasoning. It will avoid 
spending time on features that everyone thought someone else needed, but 
when you ask it turns out that nobody actually has any need for it 
themselves.

You keep saying that, and every time you say that I reply explaining how 
such a change has to be supported till the end of time in all full node 
blockchain software. (which I explained at least once in detail).
I also explained how this will require code to be written by 100% of the 
software in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem lest they drop off the chain.

You keep saying it doesn't harm anyone, but that doesn't mean what you think 
it means.
