I'm not doing anything personally besides discussing it. The limits really are a joke though and don't actually prevent anything from making it to the blockchain. It just limits what your own node will forward via the P2P network.

Arguably it could force the attackers to spend more money on getting their data in, and hopefully run out sooner (which is the inevitable result of any spam attack on bitcoin).

I have nothing against NOTS and would considering even running it myself. My problem is just the framing that core is somehow intending to "allow spam" and intentioally trying to destroy bitcoin. They aren't, it's just a different cost/benefit analysis.
