I don’t understand why core 30 changed that. Even before core 30 a motivated attacker could (one of the arguments of core for changing) and it was indeed a situation where 99.9 pct of nodes were a running restrictive relay policy. And if you believe that most nodes having a restrictive or relax relay policy does not matter you can’t be mad at core 30 for changing that.

So my position is : “I wish consensus rules were different but they are the way they are and changing them is not not-costly and should be done carefully” and “I wish core did not change relay policy rule let’s continue to try to gather consensus first on this”
