yeah, for what it’s worth i think this whole thing falls pretty neatly into ‘no harm no foul’ territory, especially considering griff was never the marginal vote on any of these, and a whole lot of proposals didn’t even make it to this round. i think the way GaaS was constructed, though, it was a colossal tax on grant proposals and probably ought be flagged when it’s used.
without doubt the move here’s to look forward but make sure we’re continuing to spot this kinda stuff. def mindful of the call by @MinimalGravitas to strike the right balance between too little and too much oversight (tho who exactly are the suits in their vision?). the goal’s to use our capacity to get the most, best stuff done for the Collective, and this sort of investigation has to be considered in the service of that, not just as its own end, if that makes sense
