But, if [it's true that "many [...] use cases [...] to use CTV for

seem much better than just having it be available on a signet?
I fully acknowledge that a temporary test can't fully replicate a
permanent condition. That said, if people truly believe CTV vaults will
significantly enhance their security, wouldn't it be worth using them
for most of the deployment? Users would receive both years of added
security and the opportunity to convince other Bitcoiners to make CTV
permanent by demonstrating real-world usage.
If sunsetting were a good idea, one way to think about implementing it
might be to code it as:
if (DeploymentActiveAfter(pindexPrev, params, FOO) &&
!DeploymentActiveAfter(pindexPrev, params, FOO_SUNSET))
{
EnforceFoo();
}
Defining at the outset how we'll signal years later if we want to keep
the rules seems intelligent to me.
Thanks!,
