Ethereum

ok the fast approval of EIP-7514 actually makes me question the ethereum credible neutrality for the first time ever

if this goes live in Dencun, it clearly shows that the core devs can push changes to the network at will

I think this is a very interesting question. I was very ambivalent about this EIP myself -- initially I was against it but changed my mind as it being the best thing to do right now, precisely because the hard fork process is very slow and drawn out.

thanks for replying here @dankrad, i really appreciate it

>I also think that we need to be able to coordinate much quicker than we do today, on the order of days not weeks.

what improvements to the process / ecosystem would you make to achieve it? happy to contribute some time, code or content to help

I don't have an answer. But look at optimistic rollups with a typically 7 day fraud proof window. Current expectation is that in the face of a censorship attack, Ethereum could fix this and fork in that time span to recover.

Requiring that an EIP needs "x week community consideration" seems wrong in this light.
