I view running the insecurely maintained and single point of failure knots software as a greater risk to the system than continuing to run core. That said I don’t generally upgrade my nodes with any haste because I’m lazy so all I can say is at this point I will eventually run 30 over anything Luke jr has a hand in.

You seem to have some personal issue with Luke.
But you can check what he already did for Bitcoin (if you don't know that already)

At the end of the day, its your choice what you run.
I’ve been grossed out by Luke from the beginning. His behavior and influence is why I initially distrusted the system. The dude is a statist religious freak. His influence over knots is far too great for my taste. The cool thing is I can run whatever node software I want.
And I have been grossed out by some of the Core devs and their actions.
