Given the impeding data-carrier fiasco resolution, here's a balanced approach to the core disagreement on this.
Given the central weakness in the “resource exhaustion” framing, the block-weight limit already defines Bitcoin's worst-case resource consumption; however, the deeper #BIP110 position is actually:
even inside that fixed resource budget, #Bitcoin should discriminate between monetary and non-monetary uses.
And that is the real argument. Once phrased that way, the disagreement isn't primarily engineering anymore. It's about whether Bitcoin is permissionless blockspace subject only to consensus + fees
or
purpose-specific blockspace whose consensus rules should enforce Bitcoin's monetary mission. BIP110 explicitly takes the latter position.
