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?

The term that comes to mind is "accessible", but it's not punchy enough. @balajis.eth is the ontological master for these kinds of things.

Heavy L2 vs Light L2 makes sense. In China they have a related concept called heavy touch vs light touch. https://abettermandotblog.wordpress.com/2019/11/13/does-your-startup-have-a-light-touch-or-heavy-touch/
