this is not the first time luke has attacked a blockchain. in 2012 he used eligius pool to perform a 51% attack on coiledcoin. he took unilateral action and the miners who used his pool were not aware of what was going on.
luke has displayed a pattern of using resources that don't really belong to him to block or damage things he does not like, and not being transparent about it during or after. if you run his node software or signal his BIPs, don't be surprised what he tries to sneak into it to serve his own destructive and autocratic agendas.
luke is a bad actor.
