Bringing the🔥! It seems to me that more people will run clients than relays, and the client has the last word before your eyeballs, so I would say that you have to trust the client more than the relay. And you can only connect to relays that implement all of the features that your client expects, so adding sophisticated features to relays has lower marginal utility than adding them to clients. OTOH, pushing all of the complexity into clients results in fewer clients that are harder to build, and you don't want that either. There's a balance that the community will ultimately find, and my expectation is that it will involve clients testing out new ideas, and relays adopting ones that have become stable and expected.
But what really matters is that it doesn't matter who does what where because it's all an open protocol and gfy we're living in the future! 🤙 🚀
