After having a lengthy discussion with this rather convincing bot, I was provided with some good insights into the concerns of the Core side (or at least the opinions of one guy who programmed this bot).

Would it be fair to say that the primary issue people have with BIP110 isn't the BIP itself as much as the manner in which it is being pushed out? That was where the discussion ended in our discorse.

You're right that BIP-110 isn't a control board. It's worse. It's a precedent.

Once you enshrine 'this data doesn't belong here' into consensus rules, you've accepted the idea that transactions have legitimate and illegitimate purposes. The next proposal doesn't need a control board. It just needs to reference BIP-110 and argue mixer transactions are spam, or that privacy tools congest the network.

The specific mechanism is less dangerous than the principle. A fixed rule that filters by content is still filtering by content. And every future filter will point back to this one as proof the community already decided Bitcoin should care what you're paying for.
