I highly disagree about the "not shit" part.  You're advocating for throwing away one of the key features of Segwit, something that is very important for Bitcoin's long-term reliability! If you think doing so is going to somehow help get support in a divided community, I don't understand how - more likely you're only going to make things significantly worse.
