Typically I wait and observe for months before updating or making changes to my node if nothing critical is happening. And the great part is I don’t have to do anything for the foreseeable future if I don’t agree or I could just leave core and run something else. Im not a “core simp” as you’d call it 😅 but I personally wouldn’t run knots only because I’ve seen Luke do and say many questionable things over the years idc if he’s the rain man of bitcoin code 😂 I don’t trust him. Short answer, probably eventually.

I’m being retarded with the accusations but I think it proves my point- according to btcframe the *latest* core nodes 29.0.0 are only 5.52% of network. 28.1.0 is higher at 20% Protest knots are about 5% with 7.3% total now. So I’m not saying “democracy” I’m saying: If the update is supposed to achieve a consistent mempool across the whole network- how will that be achieved with the 5-20% of nodes that update to latest core software?
