The removal is not yet live on the current mainnet version, but it is finalized and will be the default behavior once the next release is deployed this month on version 30.
Discussion
Why are you spreading this misinformation? No policy changes have been merged regarding OP_RETURN in Bitcoin Core. Version 30 is not even scheduled for release for another 5 months.
This is straight from the source: Bitcoin Core’s own developers have merged PR #32359 to remove the OP_RETURN limit in the next major release. Check the official GitHub announcement by Greg Sanders on May 5, 2025.

The world’s about to change-don’t blink.
You didn't link to the actual PR because it isn't merged. It was closed without merging https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32359. Why are you lying?
You’re right-the PR wasn’t merged, and I appreciate you pointing that out politely. But let’s not miss the forest for the trees. The fact that such a significant change was proposed, debated, and seriously considered by Core devs is the real alarm bell here.
For me, what matters isn’t just what gets merged, but what gets momentum. When proposals like this surface, it signals where some want to steer the protocol-often quietly, until it’s too late for pushback. I’m not here to spread FUD or fabricate; I’m here to make sure we stays alert.
If we don’t pay attention and speak up, we risk waking up to a very different Bitcoin. Especially that not all mode runners scrutinise every update. That’s not lying-that’s vigilance.
