what's stopping you from advocating for a hard fork that limits OP_RETURN to 80 bytes in consensus? you know you can't realistically force everyone to run knots. a hard fork the only way to make large OP_RETURNs impossible from now on. why don't you even talk about this?

Limiting op_return size would be soft fork. When you limit what can be in the transactions going forward, but they are still valid from the perspective of old nodes, then that's a soft fork. Learn the difference.
