It sounds like they are saying that whatever consensus touching bugs and hacks they introduce, they will never fix them, but turn them into official features instead. Ossification sounds better to me, and that's something I thought I'd never say a month ago.

Do you have a fix that you like for those bugs mentioned? There’s been lots of discussion about this elsewhere, and afaik no one has proposed a way to detect data stuffing except for specific historical methods, which when fixed would be worked around with new data stuffing methods.

Core devs are clearly saying they don't want a fix.

Core devs don’t think there’s a fix. That’s why I asked you for yours. Maybe we just need to show them The Fix and they’ll see their mistake.

Indeed, there is no fix, when core devs fuck up at the consensus level, there are only consensus level fixes, which they refuse to touch. If they refuse to take responsibility for their errors, they should never touch the consensus layer again. Like I said in my first comment.
