Lukes concern are valid op_return chances were pushed even though the community was divided. the case where a project can come along and needs a change can still happen now in core 30, if a project needs a full block of data that inscriptions have already done with the help of miners what then? Will we put op_return to a full block because well miners can already do it and in op_return is better. We have to decide what is reasonable and what is not, if citrea can use those bytes for zk proofs other can too, all other bad options for data must be restricted and more expensive than op_return. All those projects like Citrea are making us all make changes to accommodate when no one knows what the utility of them will be, we can not bend the knee to any new project needs.

No one is making anyone make changes. Miners can put non standard block in the chain despite the node software, and we really don’t want utxo bloat.
None of this is changing the blocksize and all the hand wringing about spam is massively overblown. The chain is practically free to transact on currently, this is why the spam narrative has been abandoned in favor of the csam narrative. The csam narrative is an appeal to emotions but makes little logical sense.
