There might be some different opinions here...

I read your linked post. I agree that both major factions in this debate appear to be arguing earnestly for the most part. There seem to be some misconceptions, but that makes this debate also an education opportunity. I don’t agree that having a few data transactions in Bitcoin spells the doom of the network—that is hyperbolic.

You never know what a perceived judged little thing may unleash, especially when the circumstances surrounding it are not clear. You can't see the bottom of the see if it is murky, you can't have good decisions if the situation is murky. It might be better to let the dust settle, see clearly and then make a stand and decide. The decisions here were made in the middle of a dust storm. Only my opinion of course.

Yeah, I think we can let this one simmer for a few weeks or a couple months.
Funnily, I don’t think there was any urgency attached to this pull request until it blew up on social media. The next Bitcoin Core release is planned for October. Whether the change were to get merged in May or in August, it wouldn’t come out before October.
I’d say that the sense of urgency was generated by opponents claiming that immediate action was necessary to save Bitcoin.

Sometimes it is best to wait and see if your "logic" might be the best one, only idiots don't change their mind, life is a flux full of twists and turns and require an in the moment detached response. This response may also look like a reverse on some previous decisions. This show of "power" from the core developers might in the end cause a total loss of it ;-)
