core: push the centralization to L2, align mempool policy with consensus, say no to every useful upgrade knots: push the centralization to L2, antagonize the few remaining devs who didn't already switch to altcoins, start an endless game of whac-a-mole, call everyone who disagrees a pedophile, say no to every useful upgrade core is being slightly less retarded but they both have no plan. there is no plan to deal with L2 centralization that already exists today and is increasing. they just shoved it under the rug and pretend it doesn't matter. you go with core or knots, you still get the same outcome. centralization wins either way.
