but more than this, pauls own proposals exacerbate the meta consensus problem ironically, since he intends to go the speedy trial MASF route to activate them.

That's a whole can of whip ass meta consensus worms in the making, to the point where I think that may be the primary intent. to make the activation as contentious as possible.

For now, I see drive chains the proposal as a possible trojan horse to attack Bitcoin. AND the proposal itself as not well thought out in terms of implications for Bitcoin proper. Which should be the priority.

ie drivechains serve themselves more than they serve Bitcoin.

porting over shitcoin systems to be interoperable with Bitcoin's base layer seems like a bad idea on multiple levels, and that is what drivechains enable.
