As far as I'm concerned Bitcoin is feature complete. Maintenance must continue forever but the feature set should be a lock. Working as intended. Anything you do to try to improve it is a bigger danger than benefit.
nostr:npub1w72nkwnrhncuwjxmmmh3px74dhjgcv8de5nayzfygrp6mj33e96sumwyhg I’m curious if you have heard of this concern and if it had been addressed regarding #sidechains.

Name one software that has ever been feature complete. Software only reaches EOL.
cat
Cat is bash command.
No it's not. It's a compiled command part of GNU. You can execute it with a bash command, but it is a normal piece of software that has been feature complete for what, 50 years or more, thereby giving you an example.
I'm surprised that a software engineer of your caliber didn't understand what 'cat' was.
