Bitcoiners: In the literal sense... Would you run a Bitcoin Core patch that disconnects v1 peers and only keeps BIP324 (v2 transport) peers? It advertises NODE_P2P_V2, drops outbound v1 peers, drops relay peers using v1, and drops peers claiming v2 support while connecting via v1. I think it's exactly what the network needs to speed BIP324 adoption, but I could be wrong.

A quick check of my well connected nodes shows a nearly even split of v1 and v2 peers. I guess we need not worry about this causing a network partition because not many folks would bother doing it.

Yep, majority of people aren't even reachable. Im not worried about 50% of the node runners changing any settings. V1 spy nodes tend to reconnect very aggressively. As soon as I disconnect they try reconnecting. It's annoying. (which is why this patch only logs what its doing if net debugging is enabled.. otherwise it's too chatty)
