If nothing comes out of the OP_Return drama thing other than diversifying the node code distribution, then it's a win.
After some reading, I don't thing it's a fully fledged war, and I don't think a real fork will come out of it. That's because neither side is actually changing any consensus rules.
Correct me if in wrong, but I think both sides have a valid argument. It's just a matter of technical practicality.
For me, I choose the strictly monetary transaction sides because I don't any goos reason to have anything else on the chain. Therefore, I'm switching my node (bitcoineCore 24) to Bitcoin Knots (pending further research).
Having said that, anyone that wants to pay their hard earned btc to fill a block with spam or any other useless shit, that's up to them. Pay market rate or more. They'll be able to anyway as no one can stop that regardless of the distribution of positions on this debate.
Maybe on the long run this will increase the average fee cost, but for now it's a free market.
Is this a fairly neutral position, not really. Again, I choose to have strictly monetary transactions on my node. I'm just saying, as far as I have researched, I won't be able to stop data-centric transactions.
