Is there anything I can say or do to convince the people in power to either fix both bugs, or update public messaging to make it clear that ENS is currently a trusted system, contrary to original design intent?
My read of this discussion is that there is nothing that can be done to change minds, but I am trying not to lose hope that there is an amicable path forward!
the following is mostly a recap of prior discussion/suggestion
Ways to make it more clear that ENS is a trusted system:
- update docs
- write a blog post letting people know that you believe a trusted system is better than an untrusted system given the current circumstances
- link blog post on Twitter
While I think an untrusted system would be better, at this point I just would like to see consistency in user facing messaging with reality. Reality is, ENS is currently a trusted system. The people in power think that we should trust the people in power (unsurprising), and maybe we should, but it does mean that ENS is a not a trustless system as originally designed, advertised, and believed by most users.
