In an email exchange between Ben Reeves of blockchain.info and Pieter Wuille, a potential issue with the DisconnectBlock() fix was discussed. It was suggested that exchanges and major merchants need to be informed about the necessity of upgrading their systems, and both BIP16 and BIP30 should be bundled in 0.6 and issued as a mandatory upgrade for everyone. Additionally, it was proposed that a blockchain repair script be prepared, which could check the database for missing coinbase transactions and download them from another peer or block explorer if necessary. Pieter also mentioned a concern about the possibility of using a matured coinbase, but he was unsure how to fix the DisconnectBlock() issue in a backward-compatible way.
