For a project of this importance forking has serious implications, and isn't a trivial matter as Sjors makes it out to be. I would rather see agreement and users concerns taken seriously. Forking core is a last resort option and I'm glad we have it. But anyone who cares about the success of core, and I do, won't tritely say "just go fork it". It's lazy and dismissive. Sjors doesn't need to worry, we all know we can fork or run knots.

Exactly. Mechanic and the like are trying to inform the centre hub that there is a large constituent of users that put the moneyness of bitcoin above all else and we take it so seriously that we may feel the need to fork if other functionalities are being prioritised that may threaten that. I certainly don't want to have to do that. But I'm not smart enough to say in this case, so I want long and drawn out nuanced debate before I'm told what the next upgrade is being handed down.
