Exploring Extended Relative Timelocks

The discussion revolves around the management of two types of timelocks, long and short, and the implications this has on increasing the potential for bugs. The perspective offered suggests a preference towards simplifying the system by deprecating the old timelock mechanism in favor of a new one, under the assumption that users will not be concerned with the details finer than sub-8 block granularity. This approach is considered bold yet not unreasonable, indicating a strategic move towards system simplification while weighing the trade-offs between complexity and user needs. The conversation hints at a forward-thinking approach to system design, prioritizing ease of use and system robustness over maintaining legacy features that may no longer serve the majority of user requirements effectively.
