Safety increases with more lead-in time. If the reference client was
updated so that the hard fork happened in two years, it would be pretty

If miners (or the community) objected, it is sort of like a game of chicken.
This is one of the problems with not making decisions in advance, the
resulting hard fork is inherently safer.
