We like that the proposer listened to community feedback and made changes to their proposal. We also think they are taking the right direction by focusing on Polkadot SDK-related issues/improvements. However, future funding requests will be evaluated based on successful completion of this one/

Chainsafe has been a longstanding contributor to Polkadot and I believe they should be supported in finding a way to continue to do important work.
