wrt Ethereum schisms, I don't think propriety was ever an option, markets are indicators of popularity, and it is difficult to remain unpopular and tapped into the zeitgeist simultaneously.

so I am fundamentally opposed to subjective narratives of propriety within the pluralism of such a colossal ecosystem. 

personally, I think we're dancing around what is low-tech and not venture scale, but still critical to growth. a lot of the strategy is formally forced, but I would propose that the social layer is missing the one atomic role that can "eat the mess".

PvP is boring in comparison to Team vs Team, just a simple fact, and team leads make messes, shout into the void, and eat glass.

we need leaders like @zachxbt to not burn out as they informally fill such roles. there is a common, pragmatic balance (just like R/R curve can be less jagged) we just have to ballpark it.

yes, many like @consensys can do better, onchain.
I think Stani is right about focusing EF, but there is a dual mandate shared with the EC.

not sure where the most compelling quote is, but it is often said that any gap in communication is the edge for adversaries to miscommunicate your reality.

maybe some controversies need the messy adjudication on the social layer, but I think Ethereum's social debt lies in those that are frustrated w/o pressure release, and the consistent march of low-level community leadership will win that war, even if right now the battle seems lost.
