..., let's stay focused on the text instead of the author.

ok. fine. whatever. of course.

listen to this pretty measured critique of the issues and implications https://youtu.be/BQo-j3wB8L0?t=1669

Just checked it out, thank you.

I don't know whose voice is it (you maybe?)... Anyway, I think the main objection he got is about timing and the fact that the person(s) behind the mailing list post has issued it just after it has passed the discussion phase ...

Well, IDK but don't you think it is because of the part related to packing MAST and Schnorr in one (Taproot) fork or not packing them has not being discussed enough, if not at all, before?

OP,

I found the e-mails you linked as being original and legitimate no FUD out there, especially I liked the incremental approach proposed there. I don't know why they have decided to run it anonymously nor I'm curious about it, let's stay focused on the text instead of the author.

Smacks of a butthurt Mark Friedenbach, yes basically spreading f.u.d.

What would Mark Friedenbach spread FUD about Taproot?

Afaik he is more focussed on MAST, not Taproot. I don't see why he wouldn't just share his concerns instead of pretending to be an anonymous group of developers.

I have a question regarding the 'anonymous group of developers' that expressed their concerns regarding BIP 340-342 in the Bitcoin dev mailing list. Although I understand the basics of Schnorr/MAST/Taproot my technical knowledge isn't sufficient enough to see if their concerns are valid or if it's an attempt to cause divisiveness (or spread FUD). Can anyone help me out?
