I commend you @exyle for making these questions as it demonstrates your role and responsibility as a witness! These are the questions we need to ensure witnesses are asking despite they may be unpopular as it is to benefit of all the community. I am also happy that this is a transparent conversation being had by the responses here as well and appreciate these relevant conversations as I too have had concerns since the halt early this week. However, it seems that the teams remain focus on achieving the goal of implementing the Hard Fork which is great news! I hope the communication and transparency continues as it is implemented. Thanks!
