It’s not safer. Assuming that they disconnect peers who send them invalid blocks, it just means that RDTS nodes split off two difficulty periods earlier, if only a minority of the hashrate is in support of the soft fork.

This was exactly my question. It sounds like it just moves up the activation deadline, even if it isn't actually activated.

I do seem to remember @dathon_ohm saying that they wouldn't disconnect, though.

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that, yet. My mute list may perhaps getting a bit long lately.

Even if they don’t ban, but just disconnect every peer that sends them the block that’ll interrupt the vast majority of their peer connections, and if “discouragement” means a temporary ban, it’ll split the network.
