Core is a software project with a long history, started by Satoshi and Martti and maintained by many contributors over the years. It doesn’t represent a single viewpoint — even experienced developers like sipa have changed their minds on this issue.
Core’s track record has been strong: conservative, stable, and cautious by design. That doesn't mean it's above criticism, or that every maintainer gets everything right. But attacking "Core" as a whole over individual judgment calls is too broad.
It’s more productive to engage with specific issues or arguments raised by individuals, and see if they’re open to feedback. Core as a whole is good, even if no single developer or group gets every call right every time. That’s why it matters that the broader community makes its voice heard.
