I'm bummed that litecoin has segwit though. It seems like a good idea but under the surface it makes it possible (still unlikely) for someone to threaten the security of the blockchain. segwit basically allows bitcoin to break its own rules thus allowing someone to exploit it if they have enough power (ie government)

Yea I agree but it's open source and a decentralized coin so user consensus could reject any changes. At the end of the day it's up to the users to decide
Segwit allows for things like recovering loss funds and miss payments which are huge to mass adoption
super duper
Wouldn't the same threat apply to P2SH addresses?
