	It is likely that due to the obstacle that nLockTime presents to the hard-forking narrative, it is being downplayed as a technical objection and stated to be a deprecated function even though it has been an integral part of Bitcoin transaction structure almost from Bitcoin's inception.

In the event of certain forms of advocated hard forks, the result would be the confiscation and/or destruction of nLockTime based escrowed funds.
