> Now, do you agree with me that forcing a change and taking away options from node runners (even if is the right technical thing to do) is not the correct method of action?

No i don’t agree with this. removing dead code that doesn’t actually do the intended thing is good software engineering practice. I am a software engineer of ~27 years, but i guess knots people would discount this because they believe experts don’t actually know anything(??)

I think mining centralization would be much worse if people went around the p2p network for tx submission, so i guess i also disagree with your last point as well.
