You're making wrong assumptions about every single part of that process and the bridge's functions you mention, yes.
Please take at least a few seconds to check the actual project before you assume the worst, as you're fighting proverbial windmills here. It's a bit annoying.
@Qazm @dgold if there's one thing I came to understand after talking to people yesterday it's this. People definitely want these problems to be solved without them personally needing to do anything or understand anything. They want to just emote loudly until someone else takes action on their behalf. And they certainly don't want to pay anything for it.
So you know. We'll just wait and see how well that works out.
