The constantly unwritten thing here is this desire to enable these services like citrea.
Giving core the benefit of the doubt, the only "bypass" we have observed (AFAIK) is their willingness to use junk utxos.
Just as jpegs in the witness can be called out as temporary, so too can citrea's attack if we don't facilitate their desires. Both cause irreversible damage btw, increasing the cost to run a node.
Maybe the utxo bloat is objectively worse? Would be good to learn.
What is your thoughts on that.
