Hey, @pharesim.

I guess I couldn't agree with you more unless I wrote this myself. The more I read about what took place, the more it seems that not much was accomplished with the testnet.

And they actually posted about it existing, which made a lot of us feel a little more secure with this changeover. So, not only did it not get used in the way it should have, they set the expectation that it would be.

So a hardfork that wasn't ready for primetime gets rammed through so that SMTs might continue to be on track. The yet, unproven, but wonderful rainbow unicorn that is to save us all.

If there was this amount of trouble with one main aspect of the hard fork, what's it going to look like for SMTs? Even if they're dead on about the code and the effects SMTs will have, this isn't helping with morale among the rank and file nor trust in their credibility that things will actually work without a lot of patches afterward. Patching the patches.
