I'm not supporting a fork as of yet:

- We haven't really tried relay policy at scale yet, let's see what happens with Knots at 10-20% percent more of the network first.

- Forking is always a technical risk. Remember we're in this mess to begin with largely because of a unintended side effect of the taproot soft fork. Any fork must be carefully considered.

- If not backed by the core camp (i.e the fork is contentious) a chain split will probably occur, with deleterious consequences for the Bitcoin market and ecosystem.

- I have a suspicion that some people in the core camp are trying to bait us into forking off into a variant of Bitcoin instead of doing anything about spam. I have no evidence of this though, it's more of a gut feeling.

- Consensus is really hard and slow to change. That's a good thing overall. But not so good when playing whack a mole with spammers.

- Relay filters is actually better for this since you can change them on your own node without coordinating. It's not quite so powerful as consensus but a lot faster to respond.
