I think this is a good thing done by the monero team because it is what is needed at this point in time where government of countries are finding every way possible to track crypto holders so that they can be able to tax them, I learnt that if you own crypto in a country, you can be arrested by the crime department of that country saying that you are involved in theft.https://bitcoinist.com/monero-successfully-upgrades-its-protocol/
I believe this will cause a mass adoption in crypto and make it more difficult for government agencies to track us and see the transactions we make.
