+- The `whitelistforcerelay` option is used to relay transactions from
+ whitelisted peers even when not accepted to the mempool. This option now
+ defaults to being off, so that changes in policy and disconnect/ban behavior
+ will not cause a node that is whitelisting another to be dropped by peers.
+ Users can still explicitly enable this behavior with the command line option
+ (and may want to consider letting the Bitcoin Core project know about their
+ use-case, as this feature could be deprecated in the future).
