I think bitcoin has gone too far to accommodate spam. Yes, that's my subjective opinion of what spam is, which is the only definition that matters to me. This is the one lever I can pull to fight that as a node runner. Maybe you think that's naive. I do not care. I'm not giving it up. Even if you're right, and I'm convinced to turn off this option, I insist on having a way to go back, without downgrading, to what I'm doing now. I feel burned by unintended consequences in the past, so I will do whatever I can to avoid the same mistake. Maybe running knots is just a futile gesture, but if that's all I can do then so be it.
