Definitely not. But what about within the scope of OP return? While not perfect, we should at least be directionally moving towards this usage being harder not easier. That’s another sentiment most Knots users have which Core doesn’t appreciate. I haven’t gone through the entire history of Bitcoin but to be honest, I speculate there already is a lot of stuff on-chain which is potentially illicit. Filters are never going to be perfect but giving up is also not acceptable.

We could hardfork a hard cap to its size, but it would just push people to solutions that would bloat the utxoset which could be really bad

Or you could return to the original usecase and remove OP_RETURN from standardness.
