I mean i have always been on the side of relaxing standardness (i miss puzzle transactions) but i think core is always going to side on removing knobs that produce foot guns, not adding more powerful customization. I think i plugin system would be cool so you could implement any logic you want, so noone would have to argue. I think the concern then would be social media campaigns for people to download certain plugins without realizing the effects it would have on tx distribution.
