Yes, of course. Let's say i was more interested in knowing if people who oppose CTV would oppose
SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT too. I think talking about activation of anything at this point is premature.


> For someone not as versed in CTV, why is it necessary that ANYONECANPAY be optional to emulate CTV? Is there
a write-up that explains how APO-AS w/out ANYONECANPAY approximates CTV?

I'm not aware of any specific to CTV. It's just that the fields covered in the CTV hash are very close to what
ANYPREVOUT_ANYSCRIPT's signature hash covers [0]. The two things that CTV commits to that APO_AS does not are
the number of inputs and the hash of the inputs' sequences [1].
Not committing to the number of inputs and other inputs' data is today's behaviour of ANYONECANPAY that can
be combined with other signature hash types [1]. Thus APO_AS makes ACP mandatory, and to emulate CTV
completely it should be optional.

> In the case of eltoo commit txs, we use bring-your-own-fee (BYOF) to late-bind fees; that means ANYONECANPAY will always be paired with APO-AS for eltoo. Settlement txs in eltoo use just APO and do not necessarily need to be paired with ANYONECANPAY.
