My point is that Bitcoin has always been engineered to suit requirements. It was not magically spoken into being by mythical gods. That means we solve problems as they arise. "Bitcoin-as-is or GTFO" seems arbitrary and defeatist.
I agree.
But i find it interesting that bug fixes are censorship. Now we got a bunch of people defending bugs based on a concept that if its in the code, it must be intentional. Some of them even come from engireering backgrounds which is baffling to me.
Follow the money. Many of them are miners.
