Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Proposal: Auto-shutdown as 5-year fork window
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2021 11:26:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANQHGB2SwZGrFAWC0Rd88qACTjPa1L+hbV54LG87M9RJZni+4Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If MTP-11 is greater than 5 years after the release date of the current
software version, the full node should shut down automatically.

This would allow writing code that gives the community ~5 years to upgrade
to a version that executes a new hard fork while keeping everyone in
consensus, provided the change is non-controversial.
