This is just plain technological suicide. To be honest, from what happened in the last EVM compatibility debate, I don’t find this surprising any more. There’s a group of people in Parity/W3F who cared more about keeping their job than doing something good for Polkadot.
Some leadership made a wrong decision two years ago. To cover up for that bad decision, they must keep making more and more bad decisions. This is why we’re here today.
For @ink_alliance or anyone who’s involved – do you get any formal reasons why Parity/W3F do not think ink is of strategic importance?
