You are aware that the filters were basically present since ever. There is empirical evidence you can trace on the blockchain that the filters are working as designed, as 99% of all transactions adhere to them? It's not the Knots people that want to change Bitcoin.

Knots is deploying policy rules to filter transactions that are widely used and broadcast. That is a radical take off from existing practice. Filters do something if miners use them, if not, we have two good examples now that they are virtually useless at prohibiting transactions from reaching miners, or communicating to miners that they should not include them in blockd.
