Without knowing much, my assessment very early on was, this was a relatively minor debate about OP_RETURN
However, what emerged from it were several realisations:
1. Bitcoin Core need a PR department and a lesson in humility.
2. We need to diversify Bitcoin so we are not dependent on one source of code.
3. We need to reverse direction and start moving away from spam on the blockchain.
