In order to make sure my “on topic” comment isn’t too vague, I’m saying that we both completely agree on this point and the argument is about *what* the conservative, save for nuclear grade options are.
So to equate CTV with an open API is to misunderstand that I’m saying CTV appears not only the safe, and most conservative option while still getting the functionality we want, but that explicitly comparing it to previous soft forks, it’s *easier* to justify than a bunch of things we’ve already soft forked for.
So what I’m saying is that I agree with basically your entire post. I *disagree* on where CTV falls in that risk profile.
