A proposal from yesterday would separate this concern; though not
retroactively. One way to name this proposal would be "Catch-All
Segwit Activation".
"extended BIP9 activation of segwit, for legacy nodes"
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-April/014160.html
If this release valve exists, then discussions (such as this thread)
can get back to focusing on finding the safest incentive-compatible
transitions, with time improving the situation instead of making it worse.
