Not at all, I am proposing that these people, who have already done the effort to release working Lightning Network Node implementations free of charge to you, are not obligated to *also* devote more hardware and resources. Let me tell a little story... Some years ago, during the SegWit wars, there was a sentiment "when are **they** going to implement Lightning??" Both anti-SegWit and pro-SegWit asked this: * anti-SegWit: Yeah, you need bigblocks, Lightning is vaporware, when are **they** going to implement Lightning? * pro-SegWit: Lightning is so totes kool, this is why we SegWit, when are **they** going to implement Lightning? After some time participating in the SegWit wars, I realized that I was, in fact, a programmer (LOL). So why should **I** be asking when **they** are going to implement Lightning? As a programmer, **I** could implement Lightning myself! I should be asking myself why **I** was not implementing it. Thus I started contributing to the Lightning implementation written in a language I could understand, C-Lightning. My question to you is: obviously you are a node operator as otherwise the issue you raise would not be relevant to you, but what can *you* do to advance your goal? (In any case: C-Lightning and Eclair devs have already mentioned they already run mainnet nodes tracking our respective master branches (i.e. we already eat our own dog food, because duh --- for many of us, the reason we are developing this is because for *other* reasons, we *have to* run Lightning nodes), is there any particular implementation you are concerned about? Maybe ask them directly?)
