So Matt wants to give more credit to Faketoshi...
No. This is related to stopping things like AOPP.

That's a bad reason to make a decision about Bitcoin, but ...
I suppose that, since this is not consensus related issue, it's much more just a matter of debate/choice in terms of what you choose to put into your software.
I think the ability to sign over funds is pretty useful, and it will definitely always exist even if it's not in Core, so it would be better for Core to either (a) do it really well and safely, to set a standard or (b) just to define it as out of scope but not (c) say that it is "bad" or "harmful". Uses of it can be harmful, but it is not.

I agree with you. The devs from Core are corrupted?
I think we can replace with BIP-322? We've already until PR open!

Maybe just Matt going sideways. He didn't sleep well. Sleep deprivation could affect the brain really hard.

Good point :)

This seems like a thing that could easily be an outside tool, not necessarily a part of Core.

Make sense
