If you hold #Bitcoin, do you have a stake in Citrea or any other business hoping to profit on L2? No. So why should the HODLers, running the nodes, which are the network, give a shit what Citrea or anyone else wants on L2 on top of their network? They shouldn’t. Core have completely gone rogue here. All 5 maintainers need to go, that will be a signal to all the morons who have supported them that their input on Bitcoin is no longer desired and will not be accepted.

But does it really matter? It seems like the pushback to this move was anticipated and preemptively countered with shoring up installation base librerelay, which will be able to get these non-standard transactions to miners anyways.
