Is it not paternalistic to remove the ability of node operators to limit OP_RETURN data in their own mempools?
Yeah, my first reaction was that we shouldn’t have a configuration option where we cannot provide guidance when it would be good to use it. Given the strong emotional reaction, I have come to the position that it would be better to keep the option as people would feel that it is being taken away.
Overall, I’d still prefer that it eventually be removed to reduce the documentation and maintenance burden, as I don’t perceive it to be useful in the long run, but for the time being there is demand for it, so I will argue against removing it.
