Do you regard the current client landscape (multiple well supported CL and EL clients) as stable? To what extent is it dependent on EF grants? Can we promote and maintain client diversity indefinitely?

Stable enough, but imperfect! 90%+ of maintainers are from AMER/EU/AUS. I'd love to see clients emerge in other parts of the world (shout out to Lambda Class, here!) and recognize many ways in which ACD is set up make that hard. 

Funding-wise, I think it's great to have teams with different incentives/org types.

Different teams have different levels of reliance on EF grants, but obviously the EF has a fixed size treasury, which can't fund stuff forever, hence we have experiments such as Protocol Guild! 

I do think we want multiple clients, and that non-staking nodes are underrated right now.

Thanks Tim! We’re working as fast a possible to have a production grade new consensus client. Mid of this year we will start working on the execution client!
