Hopefully core pull the plug on the removing the op_return filter next month. They can see the bitcoin community isn't supporting them. Most core node runners have told me they won't be updating their core node next month, so even the core supporters don't support this.
If core don't take action, and pay attention to what the community is telling them, then over time they become irrelevant.
Not sure where we'd be if it wasn't for Luke and Knots. 💪
