We'd see kusama/polkadot as a economy system, and have to seek balances between decentralization and cost.

Canary with 1000 validators is needed if we want to have a canary to polkadot.

Abstain due to CoI: running validators on Kusama.

Sacrificing parachain availability for a marginally higher validator payout is a poor trade-off.

I abstain in this vote because I don't feel that I have a clear position to take. What does seem to me is that if someone is asking for this change it is because something at the economic level is not right in Kusama, so it is necessary to make changes so that the numbers are congruent.

Would like to have a more holistic discussion of all these issues to improve network health before choosing a direction
