"Core" has become a center of lobbying and activism, and has outlived it's usefulness as a code repository.

Archiving Core would be best for everyone, whether you're for more changes, or for ossification. A nack from the Core repository today is perceived as a veto, causing new ideas to be under-explored or bikeshed.

Simultaneously, Core's legacy puts it in a position upstream of blind downloads and a lack of discernment, making the politburo governing this repository a target for scammers and attackers.

Every day the Core repo is not archived and disbanded is an attack on Bitcoin.

Scatter into the wind smaller forks that compete on merit, and evict the squatters of Bitcoin's legacy.
