======================
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal intentionally creates what is known as a "bilateral hard fork". Use of this mechanism requires
|

that all network participants upgrade their software to a compatible version within the upgrade window. Older
|
||||
software will treat post-upgrade blocks as invalid, and will follow any pre-upgrade branch that persists.
