imho any amount of backlash against such ridiculous ideas is justified, to show that this is a no-no.
otherwise it will be like ACTA that is brought up again and again under different names.

and discovering that lobbyists are infiltrating the bitcoin foundation is worth a shitstorm of massive proportions too.
I'm glad if the devs refuse to implement such things into bitcoin, but they won't be around forever and not everyone can resist bribes.
