Summary
Specify the protocol upgrade activation threshold in PIP-51 as >75% of the committee's total power (weighted by stake), replacing the vague term "supermajority".
Rationale
With 51 validators at equal stake:
Even if 4 upgraded nodes drop offline after activation, 35 remain — enough to keep consensus running.
