55% would be a big deal and I think it would become the longer quickly.  I really doubt it will fall into a gray area.  The reality is the miners will choose the path that has the least risk.

I think that too, yes - there's plenty things to do.

I've suggested to change the threshold up to just make it safe, as even a "signal" - as the BIP-110 author put it here on SN - would still be clear when it's 20% and doesn't activate. But my reasoning fell on deaf ears. I worry about the 55% and the hard deadline for something that's supposed to be a signal - it's an invitation for acts of bad faith from all sides, and that makes it very toxic.

No matter how toxic the camps, a long reorg serves no one in any camp, it just hurts.
