Well you are right there. The people are changing the consensus because the people are the consensus not core.
Nobody is forced to use core. No one is forced to use knots. The people now have a way to vote against core's behavior over the past years and I think everyone will be surprised how many moral people just want Bitcoin to be money.
Thanks I've read all the literature and I've made my decision. Just like you have. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. I'm just stating for the record clearly that what the core team did with v30 has caused me to lose all trust in their decision making capabilities.
