NIP-22 has become non-optional. It solved a real problem and was a good idea, but also it was a breaking change. A non-optional breaking change. I made this point early on, calling the other devs mavericks and juggernauts.

Now we are in the situation where gossip either doesn't see anybody's replies, or it replies to their replies with kind-1 events which I am now told is a "sin". You see, I am not allowed to ignore this NIP-22. It is non-optional.

I'm not even against this being non-optional. What I am against is not running a migration campaign... not pushing everybody to upgrade to it. I warned this situation would happen and I was ignored. So now we have this mess.

I will now upgrade NIP-22, but somebody needs to go around to all the other clients and push them all to upgrade too.
