the EF, sooner rather than later, will have a clash with a relevant part of core devs. some of the new entities/foundations will probably support core devs. ethereum has a clear governance problem that will be visualized thanks to three fronts: AI, post-quantum, and ZK. AI is making the size of the teams unnecessary, and it's removing funding from engineering projects. the quantum threat is moving faster than ever, and the solution is also moving faster than ever thanks to AI. web2 projects can migrate fast to a post quantum solution but that's not easy in blockchains. the third front, ZK, is gonna make most execution clients unnecessary. we will have one or two guest programs fully formally verified, and this will make most teams unnecessary. the problem is that a big part of core devs have little to no interest in pushing for the new solutions. the slower the better. less risk, leave a bunch of engineers unmanaged with almost unlimited capital for a decade and this is what you get. the EF, sooner rather than later, will have to push against those blocking what Ethereum needs. it's funny to me that a considerable part of CT believes the EF is still the problem to solve in Ethereum when it's the engineering core teams. the EF needs to be made even smaller and most of the engineering teams need to disappear.
