It is more like a political tsunami than creep at this point. You may raise valid points, others may raise valid arguments against it. Apparently the path of truth is somewhere in the middle. If it was totally obviously black or white there wouldn't be all these discussions. Everything will work for the foreseeable future no matter what you choose. Let everybody make their decision with the thousands of arguments at hand and let's move on to the next thing to tackle. I think any problems arising from the outcome will teach people better than the endless drama and speculation of predicting the future, where people think their children will be disappointed that you could not convince people to switch to a different bitcoin node software. Just spin up more nodes with your preferred software if you think it matters so much. It's not like there's a 1 node per person limit.
