Yes I acussed Core of hypocracy because they said they would not implement any contentious changes. This is part of the reason why they are presently not increasing the blocksize according to them. However now they are releasing RBF which certainly is a contentious issue. Without any debate, voting, time or even miner consensus, this is hypocritical.
Opt-in RBF is a twist on Satoshi's original implementation of unconfirmed transaction replacement.
It is not imposed on any individual user and therefore is as much a contentious issue as multi-signature is, which is to say not at all.
Different variations of it have been discussed over the years and the current implementation has been reviewed, vetted & ACKED by a majority of the participants to the Bitcoin
open-source repo.
Every single miner is free to opt out from this behaviour hence the outright stupidity of suggesting it requires miner consensus.
Go and do your homeworks will ya?
It reduces the functionality of zero confirmation transactions. If I am a merchant should I reject RBF? Since if I did do this could cause other problems as well. Since it is the person that sends the transactions that chooses to opt in not the receiver. You claiming that this is not a contentious issue is obviously not true considering the noise that is presently being made on reddit even with all of the censorship.
