From my experience of working across multiple branches, these divergences in commits have a tendency to be the same code, but merged manually or differently. I have a suspicion that these commit metrics are a faulty heuristic on which to base your fears.

I get that the fork is really old, but it isn't really a good look (as Vlad pointed out). I was a bit overwhelmed trying to audit the 37K+ 14K- diff. It would make me feel better to see only a few commits rebased on Core's release. I suppose I could just cherry pick the important commits myself and maintain my own. Honestly, as I'm writing this, I might just start running a pruned node and dropping all OP_RETURN data instead 🥲
Vlad didn't point out that it wasn't a good look. Like the bimbo larping as a smart person that he is, he started hyperventilating about how a bad heuristic is reason enough to panic.
