The reason I'm calling this a dilemma is because making AsicBoost irrelevant as Peter Todd suggests, would be something inherently illiberal and against free market principles.

What are your thoughts on this?

Patents themselves (using government to give one party a monopoly at the expense of all other parties) are against free market principles.

Which basically means free market died around 1474 Sad
BTW, you having a cow gives you "a monopoly [on that cow] at the expense of all other parties," which is "against free market principles."
