Why? What’s the benefit of centralizing in a handful of large relays?

As long as we figure out a sustainable model (a matter of time I think) and keep relays dumb, there’s no need to centralize.

Whether we will centralize on few relays is really up to client developers. If most clients still query from relays and don’t treat local storage the primary storage, we will end up centralized. It has nothing to do with smart or dumb a relay is. We will centralize on relay implementations. But operations won’t

How, why would end up centralized if you query relays?

If clients don’t store events locally, it has to fetch from relays every time which makes it harder to switch relays
