It presents proven and&#xA;&gt; implemented usecases, that are demanded and (please someone correct me if&#xA;&gt; i&#39;m wrong) more widely accepted than&#xA;&gt; CTV&#39;s.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUTANYSCRIPT, if its &#34;ANYONECANPAY&#34; behaviour is made&#xA;&gt; optional [0], can emulate CTV just fine.&#xA;&gt; Sure then you can&#39;t have bare or Segwit v0 CTV, and it&#39;s a bit more&#xA;&gt; expensive to use. But we can consider CTV&#xA;&gt; an optimization of APO-AS covenants.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; CTV advocates have been presenting vaults as the flagship usecase.&#xA;&gt; Although as someone who&#39;ve been trying to&#xA;&gt; implement practical vaults for the past 2 years i doubt CTV is necessary&#xA;&gt; nor sufficient for this (but still&#xA;&gt; useful!), using APO-AS covers it.

In&#xA;&gt; the meantime others will have been able to deploy new applications&#xA;&gt; leveraging ANYPREVOUT (Eltoo, blind&#xA;&gt; statechains, etc..[1]).&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Given the interest in, and demand for, both simple covenants and better&#xA;&gt; offchain protocols it seems to me that&#xA;&gt; BIP118 is a soft fork candidate that could benefit more (if not most of)&#xA;&gt; Bitcoin users.&#xA;&gt; Actually i&#39;d also be interested in knowing if people would oppose the&#xA;&gt; APO-AS part of BIP118, since it enables&#xA;&gt; CTV&#39;s features, for the same reason they&#39;d oppose BIP119.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; [0] That is, to not commit to the other inputs of the transaction (via&#xA;&gt; `sha_sequences` and maybe also&#xA;&gt; `sha_amounts`).
