Good question! I think that's the kind of thing we should consider
carefully at the Summit.

What happens when a splice is ongoing and the communication gets disconnected? What happens when some channel failure occurs during splicing and we are forced to drop onchain? And so on.
Agreed, but we're now debating two fairly different methods for
splicing. Once we've decided on that, we can try to design the
proposals themselves.
Thanks,
Rusty.
