Could the removal of OP_RETURN be applied to Testnet first and then see how "bad" people can fuck it up there first?
As i stated on earlier page, it just mean people will switch to
OP_FALSE OP_IF ... OP_ENDIF inside witness script (this is what Ordinal does). You'll see bloated blockchain since Ordinal need to create 2 on-chain TX to do an operation and spike on UTXO growth if people use it to create token/NFT where the owner representation using an address/UTXO with small amount of Bitcoin.
Should we see this
"bloat" on Bitcoin Testnet 4 right now? I've sent some coins over to try it out hands-on:

This would need to be fixed at the protocol level to make it impossible - and we all know nothing will be done.
From what I've read on GitHub, there is a solution for it, but people argue it shouldn't be implemented, and every discussion on the topic is eventually closed.
Can you share discussion link which makes it impossible, including misuse of address and public key to store arbitrary data?
