This has me really bummed. Gloria has done some incredible work improving mempool policy that all lightning node operators have benefited from. I was really inspired when she took on the effort - a difficult and thankless task in an area of the codebase that, for practical reasons, was in desperate need of improvement. Given the nature of discourse recently, I can totally understand the desire to step back and I can only imagine how much worse it has been to deal with in person.
