This core vs knots drama doesn't lead anywhere. It's not going to cause a fork!
It's funny that each side is choosing a path that doesn't seem to lead to consensus.
The way I see it, core would eventually allow blockchain to be spammed with useless shit, while knots is about fake purity, where we're supposed to work for the greater good and block whatever we see as not up to our standards.
Thankfully I don't have to choose any of them. I choose to hold my coins and ignore the drama.
I'm still learning how this drama has all started.
But just as you've said, good thing that we're not obliged to choose any side that we're going to be.
And that's the best, we can simply continue to hold while the drama is on going.
