I have been very anti paternalistic filtering since the very early days of bitcoin, which is why i’m probably so anti knots since they want to add more filters not less.

I understand there's a need to relax the data carrier limits for new use cases but opening it up to the max block size seems like an overshoot. I want to retain the optionality, though I understand that, after block confirmation, my node will end up storing the data that guys like yourself relayed to the miners. It's a catch 22.
