And on the flip side you are at the whim of 5 woke retards acting as one, that have obvious dependencies from unknown pressure groups. Pick your poison.

well you picked running knots instead of core. i can say the same in reverse, "what core feels is good and bad and accept to the run the packaged versions from core that is called bitcoin core"

Your concerns are heard and noted. And, there are also other options if Knots and Core are both a concern to you. Being in this Bitcoin space really does invite me to keep exploring each facet of every issue that is presented. One thing I deeply appreciate is how due to its open source decentralized nature there is always another option.
