as much as im not a fan of v30, this is incorrect, storage demands will remain the same because of block limits, the changes to default values in policy don't affect consensus

OP Return are not included in block size limit due to Segwit.
huh?
From nostr:npub1j5mp526z5fkz9wkrk6mt5nzu43xndyrwkr8mnqngdqwytgcpc5vqcnsd5c :
OP_RETURN data appears in output scripts. Output scripts are not subject to segwit’s witness discount. Per the block weight limit of segwit, we can have up to 4 MB of witness data, but only up to 1 MB of any other data in blocks. Output scripts are part of the other data.
Adding more output script data to blocks would result in smaller blocks. As OP_RETURN outputs require little computation to validate, OP_RETURN data would not slow down IBD.
It seems I was misinformed. It looks like I have some pondering to do. Thank you. 🤔
