As long as Core agrees that not being able to fully stop spam is a reason to abolish all measures to reduce it, Knots has a reason to exist and to be used.
Unlimited spam is a long term guarantee for #Bitcoin to fail.
That is the issue.
Ignoring that issue is the reason to overrule "historical #Bitcoin development process for Luke ripping commits with no code review."
And that overruling is NOT the same as stating it is the best solution !
