==Deployment==
-We reuse the double-threshold switchover mechanism from BIPs 34 and
-66, with the same thresholds, but for nVersion = 8. The new rules are
-in effect for every block (at height H) with nVersion = 8 and at least
-750 out of 1000 blocks preceding it (with heights H-1000..H-1) also
-have nVersion = 8. Furthermore, when 950 out of the 1000 blocks
-preceding a block do have nVersion = 8, nVersion = 3 blocks become
-invalid, and all further blocks enforce the new rules.
+This BIP is to be deployed by either version-bits BIP9 or by isSuperMajority().
+Exact details TBD.

-of the [https://gist.github.com/sipa/bf69659f43e763540550 undecided version bits proposal].
-
-By applying ~0x20000007 with nVersion = 8, the thresholds should be tested
-comparing block nVersion >= 4 as this will save a bit for future use.

-It is recommended that this soft-fork deployment trigger include other related
-proposals for improving Bitcoin's lock-time capabilities, including:
-
-[https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki BIP 65]:
-CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY,
-
-[https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki BIP 68]:
-Consensus-enforced transaction replacement signalled via sequence numbers,
-
-and [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki BIP 112]:
-CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY.
+It is recommended to deploy BIP68 and BIP112 at the same time as this BIP.
