1. What ‘we, Core [the oligarchs]’ believed was already known. That frame is the issue more than the contents. The message reiterates a position of authority, not of consensus.

2. If it wasn’t known, individuals could have made it known in a way that wasn’t declared from on high.

3. There are contributors absent from the signatories.

Start an email thread on the mailing list where you +1? It was already done, which is my point. The letter does not communicate a new position, only that it comes from the authority bitcoincore.org. This message has the effect of making these people seem like insider elites, what else?

Yes, their position was already communicated in the email threads, but I don't think many of the people running Knots read the mailing list.

A more useful expression of this authority toward Knots runners would have been to just merge the PR. Persuasion is clearly not the effect.
