I totally agree nobody is perfect.

But that “clear problem” in your eyes: maybe it’s not as clear/priority in theirs?

Before atebites’ thread blew up; were many folks constantly prodding Devs to fix the “clear problem”?

And now… you expect Devs to monitor a hundreds+ messages channel where many folks are just using to vent, and react immediately? Did any node operators officially make relay to endorse these “immediate changes needed for the clear problem”?

We both have been here for years. I think it’s fair to say: Devs DO take (some) inputs, but they will take weeks/months to prioritize/deliberate/before concluding/implementing. 

Is it the most responsive governance/development project? No.

But should we have a Dev team which pivots every other way whenever some folks claim “clear problem” in Discord? Hell, no.

If anyone thinks this “clear problem” is really the most urgent thing to fix right now… do more! Write an ADR. Create issue on GitLab. And perhaps most importantly, rally Node Operators to make relay.

P.S. I’m not part of 9R nor “the Devs”; to those who are not clear.
