Caveat Emptor

I (instagibbs) was asked to draft a statement, I feel this is a fair summation of the project's direction. I might be wrong

Retiring the 80-Byte OP_RETURN Limit

Bitcoin Core’s next release will, by default, relay and mine transactions whose OP_RETURN outputs exceed 80 bytes and allow any number of these outputs. The long-standing cap, originally a gentle signal that block space should be used sparingly for non-consensus data has outlived its utility.
