• Stakeholders:

“Concerns” call-outs:

• Slot pipelining in-flight changes - large engineering cost for app layer, need lots of heads up
• 7805: many expressed concern about the lack of coverage of blobs. Also notable 8KiB max IL size, IL building logic being up to consensus client implementation
• 7782: most support but feel it’s under-researched in various aspects (issuance, validator centralization, consensus overhead) at this moment

EL:

• 7928: 13 as first option, 2 as second option
• 7886: 2 as first option, 2 as second option
  • Base cites reduced buffer times for L2s, ability to have fast preconfs

CL:

• 7805: 14 expressed support, usually in conjunction with another option. 5 as primary / only option
• 7732: 9 as first option, 4 as second option
  • trustless exchange between builders and proposers, reducing peak bandwidth, ability to scale blobs
• 7782: 6 as first option, 1 as second option
  • Supporters were a bridge, PBS foundation (direct impact), custody provider, financial tooling app, user, PBS infra (no direct impact cited, mostly ideological & widespread impact)
