So I compromised and volunteered to talk at OP_NEXT next month, remotely. Now I need to find time to polish up the Script Restoration implementation and draft BIP, and write a talk, while at the same time we're approaching the next CLN release which *needs* all the pay improvements I've been working on.
When I overcommit like this, it's usually my family that ends up short-changed. Yet none of this can be delegated, and both are important, so I suspect that the 28.11 release of CLN may be delayed.
I keep wishing one of my kernel colleagues would want to work on Lightning: a veteran C coder with taste would be a good hire for Blockstream right now!
Clearly you just need to commit to give more bitcoin talks at Linux conferences :)
IMHO no need to rust the release if there is nothing excited to release. People stay behind one or two versions in production anyway. Probably xpay will be the only reason to force people to upgrade probably
