actually, all 3 of the quoted authors/contributors would be beneficiaries of an extension, @TodayInDeFi included.
I would also be a beneficiary, but I would vote against an Option 1 extension because the DIP 1.7 has already proved many times that it’s not working to achieve their own self-imposed goals, and maybe I would also vote against an Option 2 extension because Tier X is not correctly calibrated as I explained above, specially in a scenario where the @Arbitrum Foundation Rewarding Active Delegates (RAD) Program would reward delegates retroactively whenever it gets approved, starting from November 1st.
