LOL Core is a decentralized group of developers that have no affiliation or contact with Citrea and these ridiculous conspiracy theories type of FUD helps nobody.

Core is not a "decentralized" group lol. wtf does that mean? lmao Can I merge something to Core? Core are devs and some have control over the repo and merge access, not all of them, I can submit a PR and ultimately someone decides and allows a merge. So there is a well know group of Core devs and guess what they talk and get to consensus on needed changes. Antoine Poinsot said on record that citrea would need to include extra data and op_return would be the less harmful way.

"... the demand for inscription incentivized people to build private bridges to miners to bypass other standardness limits such as the maximum transaction size in order to store even more data." "While these restrictions are not binding anymore for whoever wants to store data onchain, they still unnecessarily restrict constructions with time-sensitive transactions. Protocol designers want those transactions to be standard for a good reason: they don’t want to rely on private bridges for security-critical transaction broadcast. Those transactions need to relay properly on the more censorship resistant public network. It was recently brought to my attention that Citrea faced this situation with their Clementine bridge." source:

On relay policy and recent OP_RETURN drama

Relaxing restrictions on OP_RETURN is fine. Bitcoiners need to stop being so gullible.
