Assuming, the user wants to have a daemon running full time. They just downloaded your thing and you're imposing your rules? Deleted.

To me a full node is the one that verified every single block since the install point. (Not from genesis, a snapshot is fine). I'm strongly against archiving the blocks for normal users, only the state should be stored.

Give people instant sync, and they won't consider light wallets anymore = greater overall security, ready for any censorship.
