I'm running knots so I'm well aware that core can't force me to run v30. People thwart the efforts of central planners all the time. That is not evidence that central planning wasn't attempted, only that people find ways to route around it. We are seeing this play out right now as knots usage continues to grow. What I mean by vibe is the "we know what's best for you" and "trust the experts" mentality of Wuille core devs. It's like 2020 all over again.
