Upgrade Proposal #9: Fjord Network Upgrade

This is a rationale on behalf of the @SEEDGov delegation, as we have communicated here.

@bayardo, thank you for sharing your perspective on this network upgrade. We highly appreciate your insights, along with the @zachobront non-technical summary. The review you provided is quite detailed.

After commenting on this upgrade with @Joxes and the SEED Latam delegation, we are thrilled by its versatility, efficiency, and resilience. From expanding the possibility of signing from any device to its significant impact on Data Availability and protocol-level efficiency, the Fjord upgrade brings a lot to the network.

However, what is the rationale behind moving from 10 to 30 minutes for the Sequencer drift? Can you explain how the chain operators reached this unanimous decision? Is the time extension related to the expectation of frequent syncing failures between the Sequencer and the L1, or is it due to increased resilience in the time to respond during these events?

Once again, thank you for your valuable insights about this network upgrade
