Just like the previous default setting was not a hard control, neither has raising the default limit introduced any sort of hard control against hiding arbitrary data in transactions. All this means is now more arbitrary data can be stored in OP_RETURN as well as hidden in other places like before. Core must surely realise that the majority of ppl are not techie/engaged enough to adjust their own node settings, so raising the default limit is effectively a consensus change of leaving the door wide open instead of just ajar

Core didn’t change consensus, they just simplified the software they maintain. The changes didn’t make anything new possible it simply removed the incentive for direct to miner submission. Direct to miner submission is bad for decentralization. In any case it is not an emergency. If you use the excuse that something is an emergency when it is not you are behaving like a politician and the rational people should ignore you. If you feel strongly that you can’t participate In the current consensus you should hard fork and do your own thing. Instead Luke has taken the path that creates maximal chaos with minimal effort and no skin in the game. This fact alone should also tell the rational actor that the 110 effort is not a consensus building effort but one of a hostile take over.
