* Packages must be child-with-unconfirmed-parents packages. This also means packages must contain at
least 2 transactions. (#22674)
* Transactions in the package that have the same txid as another transaction already in the mempool
will be removed from the package prior to submission ("deduplication").
- *Rationale*: Node operators are free to set their mempool policies however they please, nodes
may receive transactions in different orders, and malicious counterparties may try to take
advantage of policy differences to pin or delay propagation of transactions. As such, it's
possible for some package transaction(s) to already be in the mempool, and there is no need to
repeat validation for those transactions or double-count them in fees.
- *Rationale*: We want to prevent potential censorship vectors. We should not reject entire
packages because we already have one of the transactions. Also, if an attacker first broadcasts
a competing package, the honest package should still be considered for acceptance.
