From my perspective, they are misrepresenting our position, and are gaslighting either intentionally or unintentionally here. They define "success" as 100% non inclusion in all blocks for all time into the future. That is their high bar for "success", and apparently yours too?

I define success as enabling compute resource savings and non participation by my, and my peers nodes who want to participate in such precise filtering, in as much as non participation can be done within consensus. ie via policy.

You and the grfiters you carry water for don't get an entirely free ride on my nodes resources. And you shouldn't get one on my peers resources who feel the same.

I think your and others framing of this had been, quite frankly, disappointing.
