with respect to my core dev colleagues.. this site: - is an adversarial + chaotic media environment - sustains itself on contention and controversy - produces no fixed or verifiable constituency: there is no "ethereum stakeholder" badge, no COI disclosure, no proof of legitimacy. anyone can make any claims of impact and affiliation overindexing on this context makes our existing tyranny of structureless even more difficult. stakeholders should certainly be consulted - but vague gestures to "CT sentiment" in isolation cannot be an input to decisions this venue does not bear the responsibility of the chain or its components becoming deficient longterm. core devs are tasked with making difficult but necessary decisions, and are be blamed for downtime, major issues. thank you for considering this perspective
