9% of node runners prefer a single-contributor downstream repo from core.

This is bad; the order of operations (if decentralized resilience is the fundamental goal) is going backwards, and the priority seems out of line.

Bitcoin Core may not be the worst vulnerability we should be focusing on today.

I wonder whose fault that is?

Noderunners may very well be sheep, scared from one shepherd to a new shepherd.

Some I think recognize the risk of Luke's personal history with tradeoffs & unintended consequences, and the dictatorial nature of the repo, and decide to find other paths than **that**

I welcome a change of knots' situation; I don't see it happening.

We really need a competitive alternative; knots right now is not it.

My feeling is that this will be good for Bitcoin. A moment some masks to fall down, a moment some eyes to be opened, a moment for more decentralization and diversification.

As always, don't trust, VERIFY. I run Bitcoin Knots 🤙
