#bitcoin Core should stop bundling up new features/changes with security fixes every new update. They should be separate.
If they keep doing this then node runners will eventually be forced to update—at that point can we still call it a soft fork? I don't think so.
Also — “While we like to talk about how you can theoretically run any version of Bitcoin Core and still sync with the rest of the network, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Releases that are more than 2 years old are likely to contain unpatched vulnerabilities.”
There should be more discussion on this. Bitcoin needs to ossifiy.
