I understand your proposal, but I don't see what it accomplishes compared to applying the new rule from the start (in your own blocks) and wait for 95% for consensus activation (which is my preference and it's much simpler to implement).
What are the disadvantages of my approach? What are the advantages of yours?

You shouldn't rely on that, some may start applying the restrictions in their own blocks at 0% and others only at 90%. Until it becomes a consensus rule it is just part of the standard policy (and we shouldn't rely on nodes following the standard policy).


It would be a consensus rule.  If >75% of the blocks in the last 2016 window have the bit set, then reject all blocks that have the bit set and fail to meet the rule.
