Weird. Several core devs have said, and many supporters have echoed, that we should just run knots if we're not happy with the change. I guess they weren't being completely honest.

I'm just pointing out some facts, you do you
Any thoughts about this? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxyIaoPj62q0mFOWLqG0v4UbhYr8Nqb9bV?si=lEavcwMYbDQduSE2
1. I don't understand why people think Peter Todd is a regular contributor to Bitcoin Core. I don't think I've seen him make that claim, I've certainly not seen other contributors make that claim, and as far as I can tell, he has made three commits since 2016.
2. You will have to ask Peter why he said that and how he meant it.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqpzemhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvscxst82 , should we "just run knots" like you suggested at bitcoin++? Murch here, a core dev of some importance unlike yourself (according to him), points out that Knots is "developed by a single developer pushing directly to master without peer review." Further "The same individual unilaterally issues releases." By highlighting the less than ideal nature of knots as an open source project, it raises the question: Was your advice sincerely given? Is knots a viable alternative, and if not,, why are you proposing a change that is clearly controversial when users have no real alternative? Why are you, someone with only three commits since 2016, making such a controversial PR and then getting on stage at a developer conference to defend it on behalf of Core? The responsibile thing to do here is completely withdraw your PR, and leave such important matters to more qualified devs.
