We have been discussing this internally and have had prior conversations with others in the community. There are a few possible paths here.
Earlier today, I sent you an email requesting a special edition of the Arborist call that includes you, Shielded Labs, Qedit, and us to discuss the scope and timelines of NU6 (Q4) and NU7 (target Q1 '25 along with zcashd deprecation). Let me know if that won’t work, and we’ll coordinate a separate public meeting. We need to move quickly, as we’ve run short on time for NU6 updates if the upgrade is to occur in November.
