Bitcoin Core has released a Bitcoin Core Development and Transaction Relay Policy Statement
On June 7th, the Bitcoin Core Project issued a statement indicating that Bitcoin is a network defined by its users. These users possess the ultimate freedom of choice.

“As developers of Bitcoin Core, we also hold the belief that we have a responsibility to ensure that the Bitcoin Core software operates
