I’m uncomfortable with your “bingo” moment, and your huge assumption to get
to make it fit.
The reality is that we have seen repeatedly that the miners are stating they
are Ok with an ASICBOOST disabling change.
The larger mining industry has just this week come to consensus about a
better way to activate SegWit! Referring to the New York consensus meeting!!

I question your conclusions of miners not supporting SegWit because of
ASICBOOST, the evidence shows this accusation to be false.
You openly admitting here that you use ASICBOOST as a tool to push SegWit is
further making me uncomfortable. Your intention may be pure, but the methods
are not.
And on that I agree with Andreas, that taints this proposal.
