You misunderstood my "consensus" comment. I was simply stating the "consensus" of debating on the mailing list endlessly is not as effective as doing it. Thus I was just going to do it and see who follows. But that also assumed there was not a critical mass who'd already switched -- I must admit I'm not so confident anymore... I am/so strongly opposed //to mBTC /compared to uBTC, I was ready to take a small leap of faith (with associated risks), to help push the "consensus". Of course it would still remain configurable, but the default will make a big difference. -Alan
