It was me that said that, but @liminal ๐ฆ probably did too as well.
I think Luke has gone completely off the rails. The CSAM argument is not a good one as it will always be possible
However, Core merging a change no one wanted, against common opinion, is a bad idea.
It was always possible to have large OP_RETURNs or embed data. This does not mean we should encourage it or say it is welcome (such as via relay policy), though.

I'm not going to claim that I said it, but I'm pretty much in a similar boat. Be wary on things that spark urgency and division. Responded because of the tag, but I don't care to be a voice in these conversations.
It definitely seems like it was an overreaction to the announcement of the out-of-band offerings like Mara's SlipStream.
Was it really encouraging it though? Or was it hoping that those misusing other, non-pruneable fields like witness data would take the olive branch and move their data use there so at least it could be pruned by those not running full archival nodes? Again, probably another overreaction that came out of the temporary Ordinal craze.
