Bitcoin works by consensus. Without consensus, the proposal should not go through.

Without consensus bitcoin is no longer decentralized. It is controlled by a handful of devs
no different than any other shitcoin, no better than a CBDC. Because it sets a terrible precedent
that kills the consensus mechanism, and declares that from now on every future BIP will be determined
by a small group of decision makers. The nodes have no say in the matter.

Regardless of the merits of the proposal, without consensus the proposal should not pass.
If it does, bitcoin core should be abandoned by all the nodes IMO.
