>It is a common misconception that the core devs govern Bitcoin;
They set standards rather than govern. It is an important standard, but
it is a voluntary standard. How important that standard in terms of
defining the consensus rules is subject to speculation and the amount of
influence depends on the specific circumstances. Maybe some wording can
be changed to reflect that it is a voluntary standard.
