Luke's line of reasoning here us really troubling to me: the reliability of all spending paths is as close to sacred as Bitcoin gets. If we start voiding spending paths that were previously viable, how are users going to rely on their coins long term? His (and the other people dismissing the confiscatory aspects of this fork proposal) cavalier attitude is a huge problem. Bitcoin should do it's best to never confiscate or even freeze coins that were once spendable.
