The soft fork narrative is coming from the core30 side.
Smart knot runners know that its
not exactly about the filters. It's about telling core devs that they can't just push an update and make me
run an update to help their friend.
Discussion
“The Core30 side” has pretty consistently said that if you really want to stop big OP_RETURNs (or whatever else may be considered “spam”), the conversation should focus on the consensus layer, yes.
But the “Bitcoin Knots side” seems to finally be catching on to this.
But “the Core30 side” has also pretty consistently said that no one has to upgrade if they don’t want to. To pretend otherwise is just being disingenuous.
That part of "no one has to upgrade" is willful blindness. If they were for free choice they wouldn't have removed the option to change opreturn limit.
There will come a version that will make people upgrade for either a feature or a cve. They plan on it. That's why knots support is paramount.
They didn’t remove that option…
Ironic
Lopp the shitcoiner told you that defaults matter.
Of course you miss that fact.
Keep going, 
almost there!
Shitcoiners love Core V30.
