Rooting for Core to return to The Way. Though at present it seems unlikely.

Core v30 is a classic case of “the cover-up is worse than the crime.” Instead of listening to node operators and holding off on the contentious OP_RETURN increase, Core is forcing through a change almost nobody except spammers wants. This signals a deeper governance problem inside Core, beyond just v30. Thankfully, you can run Knots or older versions of Core. New clients are likely to emerge and gain traction too.
