I think this is the cleanest way to implement the maturity requirement.
I understand why we need maturity, However, requiring 100 block maturity
will unfortunately make the system much less appealing since the
recipient may not like it. A fill-or-kill tx may still be used as the
initial funding tx to the Lightning Network, as long as the counterparty
is willing to take the extra risk.
Actually, a fill-or-kill tx is slight safer than a coinbase tx,
depending on the difference between the absolute kill time and actual
confirmation time. In a re-org, an orphaned coinbase tx is permanently
invalidated and has no hope to be included again. However, an orphaned
fill-or-kill tx may still be confirmed by another miner. If there is
still a few days until the absolute kill time, a fill-or-kill tx is
basically as safe as a normal tx.
With possibility of re-org and unpredictable block interval in mind,
height-based fill-or-kill is not very useful since it is difficult for
users to determine the actual kill time. If we could abolish the idea of
height-based fill-or-kill, the resolution of time-based fill-or-kill
might be improved.

The fill-or-kill system is totally optional, using a bit flag in tx
nVersion to indicate. Everything should be fine unless you are also
messing with the nVersion

What I'm describing is to implement fill-or-kill as consensus rule.
Certainly, we could implement it at the P2P network level: everything is
the same as I described, but the nLockTime2 and nKillTime are for
reference only and tx validity depends only on the nLockTime. Benevolent
miners should drop the tx after the suggested kill time but there is no
guarantee
-------------------------------------
I made a mistake in this example:

The correct nLockTime2 for this example should be 210000/4 = 52500
