That's true. But also, "the code" has already been tampered with, and that was before v30. So which code do we freeze? The Core vs Knots may not be the issue at hand, but running Knots is the best solution we have at the moment, and currently is more of a moral stance rather than a solution to Bitcoin staying as money, but I'm all for that. Ignoring the framing of Core vs Knots is kinda giving enemies of bitcoin (most current core devs) a free pass to do the things you're suggesting we shouldn't. Call these fuckers out, make a stance, it is important despite seeming futile.
