in shorter words, core and bip-110 both seem to agree uasf bad.
i think that is significant. core wants to not have competition to replace taproot. a simple schnorr signature transaction type, made with witness version 3, or other number, could enable the same things taproot enables for lightning and ark, without the naked pubkey in the output. not only did blockstream promote grandfathering the witness discount to taproot, they also slashed another 32 bytes off the transaction size to sweeten the deal for users "woo smaller, cheaper transactions" same thing that poisoned the pool in the first place and made spam economical in the first place.
so, it's all hypocrisy in my view. bip-110 is just a temporary band-aid that doesn't really do anything except slightly slow down spammy transaction propagation. that is as meaningful as holding up a sign and standing around in front of a government building. it's not bitcoin-like behaviour, it's bootlicker behaviour. ON BOTH SIDES.
