How do people feel about "strong L2" vs "light L2" as umbrella terms for things with unconditional security (rollups, plasma, channels) vs things with partial security (validiums, pre-confirmations...) that's still better than a multisig?

Light feels like it's worse than strong, when in reality it is a different tradeoff entirely.

heh light was already the result of me trying to be more neutral between the two categories, as opposed to the natural "strong" vs "weak"

You have any other options in mind? What name would make you feel like working on a light L2 is an honorable thing to do?

Strong alternatives:
- Maximal
- Complete
- Absolute

Light alternatives:
- Agile
- Streamlined

(Counterarguments:
- Maximal calls to mind “maximalist”
- Agile is already an annoying software term
- Streamlined is a clunky word, sort of trying too hard)
