Core leaving OP_RETURN limits “configurable” isn’t helping anyone… it’s self-preservation disguised as neutrality.
They won’t endorse metadata, and they also won’t touch the real problem: unbounded witness data bloating validation.
-Miners already ignore the OP_RETURN limits.
-Smaller miners with slower or less-optimized connections are still more likely to have their blocks orphaned.
-Users get no clarity.
-Node runners get no relief.
I know everyone’s sick of this already but the discussion shouldn’t end here…
