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.

Tight L2 vs Loose L2

Moored L2 vs Unmoored L2

Root L2 vs Branch L2

Strong alternatives:
- Maximal
- Complete
- Absolute

Light alternatives:
