It's really hard to assess the value for the network, since value is subjective to each individual, and emergent behavior is hellishly difficult to predict. I personally would prefer if

- demand was coming from the base, not the devs. Devs could help spur demand by presenting a vaulting wallet and a symmetrical lightning implementation, such that users can see what they're getting/foregoing. I think some of this is happening, but it's not exactly widely known.

- some evolution has happened on testnet/signet, in which competing implementations of vaults and sym-LN battle it out until it becomes clear which option is the safest and most efficient.

Of course that's a lot to ask, and I'm not the one doing the actual coding, so it's easy for me to say. But I hope it'll contribute a little as to what node runners may be thinking. It's better than no signal, or yelling.

Having said that, GM!
