Further, while it's one of several SegWit-related deadlines to pass recently, that shouldn't undercut the significance of this particular milestone – the lock-in is the step that actually ensures SegWit will be added to the network.

thanks for explaining :) been reading up and segwit sounds like a lot of good news :D
