Yeah I did realise the fallout of a hard fork isn't straight forward. The community gets divided and not easy to pull off.
I do hope core get their act together. Surely the rise of knots from 1% to 20% and the fact that a good % of core node runners don't upgrade their node, hopefully this should send a strong message to push core to reassess their approach. We can only hope no lasting damage is created in the interim. 🤞
