 Blocks in the STARTED state get an nVersion whose bit position bit is set to 1. The top 3 bits of such blocks must be

+Due to the constraints set by BIP 34, BIP 66 and BIP 65, we only have 0x7FFFFFFB possible nVersion values available.
+This restricts us to at most 30 independent deployments. By restricting the top 3 bits to 001 we get 29 out of those
+for the purposes of this proposal, and support two future upgrades for different mechanisms (top bits 010 and 011).
+When a block nVersion does not have top bits 001, it is treated as if all

+Miners should continue setting the bit in LOCKED_IN phase so uptake is visible, though this has no effect on
+consensus rules.
