Why does it matter how many devs a project has if it's open source and therefore verifiable by anyone who would consider running it? Knots is basically all the core devs' work with a few differences.
I am on the Knots side, simply because Core's actions are unacceptable to me and it is the only alternative. But I do not resort to emotion and ad hominem, which *many* in both sides of this argument are guilty of. That part feels very manufactured indeed. It is exactly what the fiat overlords would like to see as well.

I respect your choice of implementation and for engaging in open, civilised debate. Thank you! It is ultimately what makes the network stronger. Attackers will try to divide us, which is why we must stay focused and grounded in the technical and game-theoretical realities whenever division arises.
On the technical side, I think we can agree that control of Bitcoin’s codebase is critical. One developer holding the commit keys is a single point of failure. Even a short-lived failure could cause reputational damage to the network.
