As a OP holder, I am happy that this has taken the time to ship as it did and I am in favor of the proposal

The SEED Latam delegation, as we have communicated here, with @Joxes being an Optimism delegate, we ABSTAIN from this proposal.
After carefully reviewing the proposal, we decided to abstain as a way to differentiate from a straightforward vote FOR. This is because we highly value the reputational risk involved with this proposal and want to minimize it. This means that in our assessment, Fault Proofs definitely need to happen at some point, but considering other security contests that are set to launch in the coming weeks, it makes sense to us that Fault Proofs deployment is not yet necessary. We believe that Fault Proofs as a whole, and the measures taken at the design level to convert OP Mainnet into a Stage 1 rollup, are correct. While the Guardian Role still holds central power, the setup designed around it makes sense to accomplish their expected function.
Finally, as we always emphasize, we hope that any findings regarding the Fault Proof protocol that could compromise its functionality or require alterations to its proposed design will be promptly communicated and the upgrade rescheduled accordingly.

As a delegate who is not a developer these plain English non-technical explanations actually allow me to be an informed voter on protocol upgrades. Otherwise my options would be limited to abstaining or trying to find another delegates assessment that I trust.

To clarify, there has been no change to the original deployment timeline.
