Yeah, I already said I agree the recent changes to core are contentious and disagree with them, but I don't believe a soft fork via a node implementation with just as shitty processes for improvement is the answer.
Tell you what, i would run knots if the repo was on nostr and all of the discussion for improvements were on nostr and there were 5-10 devs as maintainers. Until then, to me, it's beta #reckless software .
Didn't I read somewhere that when you're on knots after a certain amount of time you have to actually update? Like every year or 2 or something?
