   Since #33050

   This comment claiming that failing mandatory script checks may trigger a DoS ban/punishment is false. CheckInputScript also dispute this comment.

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/b0f68f0a3a361c62cb1e1cb49aacaeac171f3079/src/validation.cpp#L2113-L2118

2. policy: remove incorrect MANDATORY_SCRIPT_VERIFY_FLAGS comment

   The claim that failing mandatory script checks may trigger a DoS ban
   is incorrect; Bitcoin Core does not automatically ban peers for
   violating any of these flag checks.

   We don’t disconnect/discourage peers sending an unconfirmed transaction failing consensus rules anymore since v30 (#33050).
