As a sideline watcher for 2+ years, this is what I shake my head at everyday.

A 95{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} signalling Hardfork Segwit + 2Mb blocks would have easily gotten 95{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} of the community behind it. Such a simple compromise. Tragic that it didn't happen.

But, my question is still serious. With 95{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} needed, why not implement a cleaner hardfork?
