This is my understanding of the above community sentiment collection:
- It will gather votes on (some) proposals that are are ill-specified or can’t be implemented
- Where variants (e.g., setting parameters or coin-burning alternatives) exist, the variant voted on is arbitrarily determined by the current ZIP champions, and can’t be changed anymore (because it would be impractical to proactively submit forked ZIPs for every tweak to every proposal, ~
and anyway new proposal ZIPs are no longer allowed~ edit: forks are still allowed) - It does not commit to another round of adjustment and sentiment-collection, focusing on the winning proposals, to address the above
Added:
Consequentially, the most likely outcome is that the sentiment gathering process will result in either great embarrassment and delay (when we realize we voted in favor of “do an election” and now what), major judgment calls by ECC+Zfnd on their own funding (which they have so far expressed reluctance to do), or millions of dollars allocated with the parameters set at the whim of a single person with no realistic way to explore and vote on variants.
I hope to stand corrected.
