Without legitimate concerns? Technical debt and performance regressions seem like pretty real concerns to me. This “small group of people” “hijacking” the EIP as far as I can tell, are the developers working on the thing that EIP is about… Interesting perspective. Is the standard organization some like more elite class of contributor that delivers down EIPs from the sky as Truth and the peasant developers should be very careful about having any opinions about it or rising up against bad ideas, aka “hijacking”. Seems like there are clearly some tension here by the people who think they know how things should be delivering down orders to people who don’t see it the same way, and now a whole lot of politics about this is now somehow “hijacking” by expressing clearly legitimate technical concerns.
We are on a very slippery slope if we just dogmatically accept bad ideas because we have previously agreed to and even with new information we will just cover our ear and stick to the plan for the reason of some sort of moral concept of sticking to plans being the priority over outcome.
