📝 Original message:I see.
But is it really necessary to soft fork over this issue? Why not just make
it a relay rule? Miners are already incentivized to modify transactions to
drop excess witness data and/or prioritize (versions of) transactions based
on their cost. If a miner wants to mine a block with excess witness data,
it is mostly their own loss.
