I don't get how upgrades would affect decentralisation and verification, those are base aspects along with the hard cap, who is going to upgrade to a software that cooks that and forks the chain? We've already seen what happns to forks
A lot of the ossification crowd give me the vibe that the only objection really is the hit the fiat price
Now I am not for upgrade every few months, that's for L2s to do, but Bitcoin will need updates, there's only so much you can abstract to other layers
I think the point is that btc is a social system instantiated through technical means; the implication is that upgrades that support decentralization through their emergent expression are to be supported; those that reduce it -- or inaction that results in it being reduced -- are not.
This is a more challenging way to look at it and requires understanding lots of things more deeply, which is hard.

define bug then? Is bug something that impairs the system from achieving an outcome? if so isn't something that impairs the ability to scale a bug?
