Great newsletter @harding. A few comments below; if you're short on time feel free to ignore apart from PR #17585.

or none of it.

- [BOLTs #684][] updates [BOLT7][] to suggest that nodes send their own
generated announcements even when the remote peer requests a filter

maybe s/filter/time-based filter/

generated announcements even when the remote peer requests a filter
that would suppress that announcement. This can help ensure that a
node gets announced to the network without significantly reducing the
overall savings in CPU and bandwidth provided by filtering.

perhaps: "provided by filtering gossip messages of peers where propagation seems adequate."

That makes the sentence very long, and I'm not sure it's exactly what Dave is trying to communicate. I do think this sentence could be clarified a little though - ".. reducing the overall savings ..." is reducing a reduction, which is a slightly confusing thing to be talking about.

fwiw git grepping "anti-fee" and "fee-snip" returns quite a few of both

Yeah, which is why I decided to choose a particular version. Really, all the alternatives here seem awful to me, so feel free to let me know if you prefer a different version (or, better yet, can think of a clever new term that could credibly gain adoption if we use it repeatedly).

Hm, as you've surely done, I looked online and in the codebase and see "fee sniping" and "anti-fee-sniping". I actually like the term and it seems to date back to at least 2015. I come to the same conclusion that you do, e.g. hyphenless, or alternatively use the two that we see.

Couple of nits inline. Otherwise looks great. Carl's PR description also LGTM.

Pushed edits for feedback (thanks!). Also made slight edits to @dongcarl's text (spelling[1], fixing my old broken link to the wrong PR, and adding a link to a previous newsletter with some anchor text) and re-did the commit so it credits him as author instead of me (required a force push).

[1] Per style guidelines, used American English spelling in line with this document's primary author (me) using that spelling. Just mentioning this so that Carl and John know they're free to insert those extra us after os in their own documents for the website.
