So my question is, now that Bitcoin Core is doing pretty questionable things such as removing OP_RETURN limit and rushing merging this thing up
Please stop spreading inaccurate information, the discussion shows lots of opposition to that PR where chance of it being merged is rather low.
should Bitcointalk support Bitcoin Knots now that it's picking up traction?
Considering Bitcoin Core is far too popular, promoting Bitcoin Knots or other full node software that remain active in development for long time is good idea.

What? Can you tell us what kind of change done by Bitcoin Knots that would cause hard fork?
