you are ALWAYS going to have people who disagree with your decisions in an org like the EF, especially when enacting culture change

the reality is a lot tough decisions have been made and still need to be made to ensure Ethereum remains competitive and the EF remains sustainable

i think the mindset which permeated the org under prior leadership led to the EF operating too much like a "job for life" rather than a competitive and responsive org ready to adapt to changes in the environment in which Ethereum operates. i will probably piss some people off by saying this, but that has been my view as an outsider for a while

the ideal EF model, imo, is one where you have continuity of mission and vision, but no individuals gain so much control that they can subjugate it in perverse ways. people should come, contribute to Ethereum being great, then go on into the ecosystem to add value to it based on that experience

so i must say that i'm truly impressed with the open and proactive comms approach @tkstanczak has been taking in his very short tenure. most people wouldn't realize how exceptional this is because these are not the kinds of things they think about

i do, and i can tell you this is exceptional
