If the Merge is close to ready, if we start to tease on social media that tests of merge from clients is going well, let’s the just not delay and do the Merge.
I think this is the crux of things. Even though the merge testing is going well, it isn’t going to happen until the difficulty bomb is due to go off again (early December, as per EIP-3554). We are not ~1 month away from having client releases ready for the merge, so we need to push the bomb back again.
a Additional testing on Pyrmont has been done (by Pari). Sync committee issues resolved.
Look to get client releases at least 16 days prior, to allow for a blog post 2 weeks ahead. [Me] Would prefer 3-4 weeks lead time to allow larger staking operations more time to upgrade.
Target client Mainnet releases for end of next week; blog post Monday Oct 4.
Agree on Wednesday 27th. Epoch number TBD after this call.
