The worse is yet to come. There is a complete plan on how to change #bitcoin for supporting #BitVM and other garbage projects. This gang chooses to keep it from the community, only disclosed by PRs.

The argument is never about Core vs #Knots at all. It is to force the node runners into compliance. Node runners are free to choose any of the other maintained forks, to show their disapproval.

#blockstream too had used the same method to approve their PRs for Lightning support.
