I think the HF20 brought more positive than negative sides, and we are just testing the implementation. We have already a lot of developers trying to fix part of the problem you described.
But one thing is for sure, "Without minnows and plankton and new users every week adding to the ecosystem... WE WON'T EXIST!"
testing should be done on the test net not forced on to production where real money is at risk.. But hey real devs know that unlike the joke here going on! No wonder dan left!
