    Checking the policy documentation I think I noticed that some things are outdated since Version 3 transaction relay / TRUC.

    Some sentences like:

    Note: Package feerate cannot be used to meet the minimum relay feerate (-minrelaytxfee) requirement. For example, if the mempool minimum feerate is 5sat/vB and the minimum relay feerate is set to 5satvB, a 1sat/vB parent transaction with a high-feerate child will not be accepted, even if submitted as a package.

    Are no longer true. If I’m not wrong, in this specific case, you can now submit 0 feerate transactions and still be accepted.

    Probably there’s more documentation outdated on this section worth to review.

    You are correct that this no longer holds with TRUC. The caveat can be added.

    Right, this ended up in BIP431 but not our docs, which is not very clear.

    An individual TRUC transaction is permitted to be below the mempool min relay feerate, assuming it is considered within a package that meets the mempool’s feerate requirements.

    Happy to review a pull or I can open one

    Went ahead and opened a PR #33220 as draft to not create much noise. @glozow feel free to review and suggest text :)
