EGL project: good, bad or ugly?

Really strange news today about EGL project, especially having that looks like it is supported by Coinlist and major VCs.

Should it be considered as an attempt to improve ETH or a hostile takeover?

One final comment on this: $EGL obviously isn’t the thing that will kill or seriously damage Ethereum, and it’s fairly trivial to neuter, but it is an annoying distraction at a time when core devs + the community are aligned on the #1 priority: the merge. https://t.co/W7s09lr8lU

I think even when trying to be as charitable as possible, e.g. some people advocate for EGL because they think it's better than the current process, the worst offenders here are the ones that make it seem like there was general buy in from the community, specifically @CoinList https://twitter.com/meeseeking/status/1429889286011342848 …
