I agree. I’ve learned more about node software due to this whole dust up, and was surprised to find how much depends on core. People would be crying if all the nodes were running on Umbrel.

Indeed this all drama is pushing me to get more into the technicalities.. and probably will have a solid own opinion in 2/3 cycles from now 😅..
Jokes apart, for me the main issue is not what Core does, is having a core itself.. I see it as single point of failure.
I’m currently thinking just don’t upgrade and wait to see what happens… all the arguments (well at least the solid, non-emotional, technical ones go way over my head.
Would be so much easier if one side said ‘hey you know what, you’re right, we hadn’t thought of that’.
Imagine that the first time I teied to run a node after 4 years in bitcoin, was 0.27, and all the drama started like after a couple of days I was running it 🥲.. they were waiting for me.
