Thanks for all of the background!  I can only imagine the complexity of all of the moving pieces 😅

I thought about contributing to LND but Core Lightning felt like a better fit.

Ironically last year I thought splicing was already done 🤣. What had been done was the spec being completed.

When I realized no one was actually implementing it yet I got excited to do it. The feature just kind of makes logical sense to add. It’s simple conceptually but gets complex as you get into the weeds.

I’m not aware of a product manager over at Blockstream 🤷‍♂️

This makes a ton of sense - thanks!

Is there a "Product Manager" of sorts who works with node operators to determine what they want/need or to manage the feature roadmaps?  Would this person work as a full-time employee for Blockstream?

I am curious how you "selected" splicing?  Was this your first feature in a part of your getting started story you mentioned?  Do you work for Blockstream, or did you choose between starting on CLN vs LND, etc?
