Hi @michaelfolkson, can you enumerate a concrete dispute with my proposals (on their respective PRs) or my code here? Otherwise, I'm not sure your comments are contributing to the discussion. You've registered your Concept NACK.

@reardencode: No, registering my Concept NACK is sufficient. I'll leave it to others to rehash what Sjors and I have already advised and you can choose to ignore them too.

ACK 8f07458. useful to fill outbound slots with peers which we can relay transactions with and i liked the approach in this PR to swap away blocks-only peers in full relay outbound slots only after the threshold number of max full relay outbound connections is reached.

> It would be easy to exempt non-tx-relaying m_protect peers from disconnection, but that would mean that we could end up with up to 4 of these peers permanently.

I'm just going to squash this back into #21778, and get it done together. The changes (combined with lld) are now working.

Thanks for the review!

We had an offline conversation about this today (FYI @sdaftuar @sipa @sr-gi). Some takeaways:
- It would probaly be better to first have a replacement peer ready before disconnecting a blocksonly peer. That would mean a similar approach as for the extra network-specific peers, it would also mean that we would need to add a way to make extra connections when we have a -blocksonly peer we want to get rid of.
- We should avoid situations where there could be perpetual ch
