Just checking on this - if the reason is bandwidth usage, I can collect metrics and report back. I suspect it will be increased, but only slightly, and will only be between the sentries and validator which are almost certainly within the same intranet.
If the issue is cpu load, I can collect metrics too and I suspect it will be decreased.
To me this just seems like a very logical change so I’m unsure why it’s being opposed, with the exception of thogard’s opposition which is very obvious to me.
The last reviewer who worked at Polygon seemed to agree, and simply did not want to merge because he had other plans for the sentry/validator setup that seem like they have not come to fruition.
Fwiw. I also support the changes in this hard fork for all the reasons that others have listed
