jarvi from peakd wrote when SPS started that small proposals are not efficient, because you need more campaigning for it to pass then to finish it. they had few small ones and then just made a all in one. now different thing is that you can see their work, work on the blockchain code is in most cases not that obvious.
But i do agree that some kind of rode maps and time frames would be good. again asking for reports is a bit tricky as the time spend to make them.
I am maybe not the right person to comment on that, because 100K or even 50K is mostly a science fiction in our parts of the wood, so...
I wouldnt consider SMTs a small proposal.
Exactly because the dev work isnt obvious is why im saying: Lets not vote for "continual development" but rather task completion.
Continual development is vague and doesnt necessarily lead to any organized effort in creating large or worthwhile additions to the network.
