These limitations are very bad. Wasn't Bitcoin supposed to be censorship free? Who gets to decide what kind of transactions we are going to limit?
this is a prime example of ivory tower thinking getting in the way of real solutions that matter to real poeple.
As an example, the sigops limitation that Gavin implemented in Classic is not a solution of any kind. For example, if we had confidential transactions today they would not work due to this. There are so many potential use cases that it is nearly impossible for us to consider everything.
this is a prime example of bad project management, we can't achieve any kind of consensus without first agreeing to what the main goals of the project is.
of course Gavin is doing things differently in classic his primary goal is to scale the blockchain as much as possible.
this is NOT the main goal of Core, which is fine, there second layer solution is fine, but it's simply not what the majority want...
