The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We’re voting FOR the proposal.
After reviewing the breakdown of the changes by the Developer Advisory Board and having our research team look into them as well, we believe the upgrade is safe to implement. We are aware of the fact that the code doesn’t have any 3rd party audit, but as @zachobront, the S6 DAB lead, has pointed out, there is no big issue with the lack of audit given the scope of the changes.
However, we would like to amplify voices already raised in this thread that it might be useful to at least revisit our policy regarding the need for 3rd party audits for code upgrades.
