You say that you want to make patented optimization useless, but you point to a link that doesn't say anything about ASIC improvements or patents, which means that you have been planning to change the protocol rules with some miners (but not all the community).

All changes to the protocol should be discussed in public here. If you want to make "further similar optimizations useless as well" then maybe you should propose a switch to EquiHash.
