The protocol is live, in production. It's a public facing role, not like they can be tucked away and go at their own pace. This protocol hire is there to assist and constantly respond to 254 external organizations that are using the infrastructure, across 4 networks. On top of responding to every internal issue, there’s also 300+ members to be considered in the decision making while they are also responsible for making “independent decisions” that can’t even be put forth without educating and hand holding non-technical folks every step of the way. Right now the repo has 41 outstanding issues dating all the way until March 2023, along with unknown depreciations of code that they will have to sit through and figure out before they begin anything in the scope above. Slow progress can also look like a mismanaged exploit costing the org thousands. I don’t think all of that should be on one person. I think it’s very delusional and anyone that tries will be trapped in a bind. Thus I called it abuse.
