Since you asked… I absolutely want bitcoin to succeed long term. I understand the case for software maintenance over time. I’d say my concern is that while we technically can read the code of open source projects or proposed changes, most of our community (myself included) aren’t savvy enough to do that- or do that well. We will fall back to other people’s assessments or summaries, which may or may not be accurate. The “experts” might be in conflict. We might have our trusted voices whose opinion we hold high, but there’s risk there too. I appreciate the ones who are full time in this space- but a lot of us aren’t even if we run nodes, etc. At the end of the day- none us want to break this with a self inflicted wound by a malicious actor who broke the trust.
