Comment(by arma):

 the proposed plan is to leave 0.2.3 code alone, make all the auths vote 0
 on disablepct, change the logs in 0.2.4 to make it more helpful when the
 bug occurs, and once the bug is identified and fixed, rewrite history so
 disablepct never existed, and think about whether to fix the bugs in 0.2.3
 or 0.2.4, and maybe eventually come up with a consensus param to do what
 disablepct does now.

 (unless there is no bug, in which case we get to keep disablepct and
 everybody lives happily ever after)

 also, when i say 'the bug' i mean 'all the bugs'

 mike and nick say they're ok with this plan.
