Carlton is correct.

What is possible to be "gamed" or exploited will be. The risk is too great to accept any proposal that is blindly fumbling in the dark with incremental "improvements". The Bitcoin ecosystem is a living, breathing thing that can't be operated on open-heart surgery style at a whim. Any changes must be thoroughly examined and vetted. It isn't a time for loosey-goosey "what if" scenarios where the failure mode is Bitcoin in general suffering.

This is why Core is important, and their combined expertise brought to bear on problems that are complex and intertwined with the health of the ecosystem. If you want to play cowboy, go with the BU-Forkers and risk all of your holdings -- I know I won't, given their miserable track record.
