Please let's all agree that it's time to end ordinals.
It is time to end Ordinals.  But it is a high risk task to roll back.  It sets a precedent and this has always been avoided by the Bitcoin community.  Rather spend time trying to find ways to stop Ordinals instead of rolling back.

Do not get me wrong.  Bitcoin is so impressive.  But it has negative bullets too.  This is a scenario that will only be avoided until the day comes where we HAVE to roll back or censor I believe.  Which is extreme danger.  You censor Ordinals.  Then why not censor other things too.  Like I do not know, texts embedded into the Blockchain that should not be embedded.  Then why not censor hackers and scammers too.  Then why not roll back every time there is a massive Exchange hack.

This is why changes take so long for the Bitcoin Network to accept.  Read what franky1 says.  Taproot should have been much smaller than an almost 4 MB junk.  Taproot has been discussed and coded for a LONG time.  Still.  It brings unexpected issues.

I hope one day we can have quick fixes and solve any Bitcoin Network issue within minutes.  But this is almost never the case.  Patience is key.  Always has been.
