Ok, I openly agree with you that filters are useless and don’t achieve anything. Now, do you agree with me that forcing a change and taking away options from node runners (even if is the right technical thing to do) is not the correct method of action? Do you agree with me that opening up op_return limit is not a very impactful action to help fix the minining centralizatio issue, while stratum v2 has a much stronger impact in fixing the mining centralization issue? These are the questions that “knots” ppl have, who care about spams that much

No i don’t agree with this. removing dead code that doesn’t actually do the intended thing is good software engineering practice. I am a software engineer of ~27 years, but i guess knots people would discount this because they believe experts don’t actually know anything(??) I think mining centralization would be much worse if people went around the p2p network for tx submission, so i guess i also disagree with your last point as well.

It doesn't do the intended thing, or at least not to an acceptable threshold within an adversarial network. So why keep something that does not really achieve anything for users when there is a measurable downside to performance?
