I find your message similar to the one of @pacu. High quality, relevant in many regards, but not really addressing my point.

Sure. But why would I bother if it’s optional to use them? Why would I bother if random people get to decide if they get activated?

Currently, dev fund is locked, right? Well, I’m ok with that, why would I need to write a ZIP?

You guys want to make changes? Write a ZIP. 😉

Let’s be honest, ZF and ECC have created the situation we are in now, burden on them to fix it so we can all move forward from their mess.
