Hey Antoine and everyone,

What you suggest makes sense to me. Since the 20-minute difficulty 
exception is now exploited perpetually, it doesn’t serve its intended 
purpose of allowing developers to mine themselves a few coins easily or 
confirm their own non-standard transactions. In that case, it would be 
better to not have it at all.

I would suggest to pick a date that’s not a holiday in many places to 
avoid disrupting people’s holiday, how about 2026-01-01 instead?

Cheers,
Murch
