We want to and we can start with Zcash's latest protocol, so activate Overwinter and Sapling right away or early on. Because starting with these right away wasn't tested in Zcash's codebase, we might have to "upgrade" to these protocols at early block heights like 1 and 2 (perhaps with zero mining rewards for those special blocks), but this approach might conflict with us avoiding the need for Sprout's params files (issue #11).
