You are correct that updating at this point is not required.
I disagree that running knots today is endorsing Luke's "roadmap" in bitcoin. I run the software that best suits my needs at the moment.
At this moment, I also have a need to demonstrate my objections to Core's "roadmap"
Why would Core dev's attitude so drastically change from this tweet in 2023?
To me, it is an issue of Governance over bitcoin. (which should not exist.)
A "reference" client's dev team does not push contentious updates without a clear and present danger, and broad social-consensus support. If any single dev team gains a governance authority, like what the ethereum devs had when "deciding" that it was time to go Proof of Stake, then we have a much bigger problem than spam on our hands.
Knots breaking 20% of the network exceeds the UASF 15% during the Blocksize war. I believe there are sound motivations for demonstrating action.

Tell me one thing you need Knots for that isn't satisfied by an old version of Core, v27 for example.

You can virtue signal on the GitHub repo while running v27

Oh you'll love my other posts then

The client flag. Also, this is the default QT page for spam filtering in knots, the software makes it easy to refuse relaying inscriptions to other nodes pre-confirmation.

No I can't, because the Moderators banned "non technical" discussion. In addition, 20% alternative client use for the first time in bitcoin's history is more effective than "virtue-signalling"

Archiving Core is one thing every Bitcoiner should agree upon.
I agree with that. Have a great day.

That is a lot of 'configuration' options...
How do you/we know that any of that 20% of nodes is real???
Those nodes don't pay fees. They don't compete for blockspace.
They don't (necessarily) hold the keys to Bitcoin either.
What is the point of 'spooling up more nodes'... if it could be 1 node or 2 or 5 or 100 nodes per person? Are those nodes actually being used?
