bitcoin for its first decade had rules that ensured efficiency by not allowing a TX to produce upto 4mb of bloat. where signature space had to contain signatures and methods to prove the spending of a utxo..

the rules have been removed, the checks have become unchecked and data is allowed NOW to be pased without rules or formats

dont pretend that whats happening now is that upto 4mb of bloat has always been the way and where you think that implementing rules is new.. its actually returning rules to how things should be. lean efficient spending of bitcoins

and dont pretend that fixing the removals will stop people transacting. it wont people will still be able to spend their utxos. they just want be able to add dead weight useless junk data to it to the extent that has been RECENTLY exploited

But it is done. It is what we have at the moment, not what was centuries ago, not what was yesterday, it is what we have now. And the choice is not between good and bad, the choice is between bad and even worse. And system rollback is what even worse. Of course we know that some other projects easily done that, and why not to use those projects if to agree with that? Because that is what making those projects not the bitcoin. If anything can be undone than everything can be undone.

So I understand what you say. I understand that we've got a problem we haven't escaped. If there was a way to return to the past and not to do so, I 'd prefer that way. But it is impossible. And, as I see it, a discussed rollback is much worse than the problem we face with.
