This is bullshit.
If you do this, you kill any credibility Bitcoin has.
It's not Gavin's place to DICTATE what transactions should be allowed and what transactions should not be allowed.
The beautiful mathematical design of Bitcoin just makes sense. This does NOT make sense in the same theoretical, effortless way. This is arbitrary.
The software has
always dictated which transactions are relayed, or not.
This change makes it easier to change that limit, in fact.
