I am for the change
- improves decentralization as it disincentivizes going straight to miners to include valid transactions.
- let's my node see the transaction, before included in a block, so my lightning node can adequately adjust fees for channel closures and justice tx with peers.
- incentivizes developers that want/need data pinning or publication that goes beyond a simple hash to use nice formats that don't bloat utxo set and are easily purgeable. In exchange they get improved privacy and don't need to work special deals with miners or TX accelerators.
I personally don't care if there is a toggle or not in core to let people control data carrier size and limits. But I do want us to get past the arbitrary restriction whose original purpose is no longer served and may be contributing to poor outcomes. I'm also not gonna get butthurt if we don't make this change as there are bigger issues to tackle.
