Dropping the limit makes OP_RETURN a reliable replacement for the latter which is currently standard and essentially unpreventable.&#xA;&#xA;Data in OP_RETURN is significantly more expensive than data in inscriptions, so I have a hard time understanding the concern that the overall block space occupied by data transactions would increase.&#xA;&#xA;Whether more should have been done about inscriptions seems like a separate debate that mostly muddies the water here.</html></oembed>
