Mechanic can't see the shape of every possible future valid transaction or every future spam. This includes requirements for potential future L2 scaling solutions.
Without that you can't even begin to write a valid filter. After that everyone who has written a regex knows what happens next.
As long as all the pissing and moaning from both sides is about mempool and not valid blocks it feels a bit like a psyop argument to me. Like US politics going on and on about left right to distract you from the fact that they are both authoritarian and there is no freedom candidate or platform. Both sides on the stage seemed to pointedly avoid any discussion of validation rules to get on chain.
Unless we're talking about changing validation rules the change is smoke and no fire. The real problem is the conflict of interest from core, bad public relations, and general fuckery. Just because they are shitheads doesn't mean every change they proposed is bad.
My full authority at my company... A few people on both sides are getting written up. Don't merge. New PR that changes the default but doesn't remove the option on my desk by Friday.
