Yeah, this is pretty much my take as well. Something smells. I had always been in the camp that inscriptions are stupid; but, if they're willing to pay for the blockspace, so be it. But now, I just want node client software diversity in order to limit the influence any one of them has over the network as a whole.

100% bro. I always had that position about inscription bs. I just ignored it.
When @Bitcoin Mechanic pointed out that core devs had blocked him for questioning op_return, I immediately started paying attention. I listened to hours of online debate and I’m sorry but the core devs argument is questionable at best.

I'm wondering if it's possible or feasible to remove a core dev from the "team" - I get that they're all over the place and just commit to git, but surely there's something we can do. I don't really care if they're genuinely bad actors or just incredibly insensitive people - if the result is changes that the community objects to, then there must be some mechanism to... lock them out, stop their funding, whatever, idk.
