The distinction is very important because it's a matter of things we
can and should fix vs things that cannot be fixed except by changing
goals/incentives! Opposite approaches to handling them.
When I read "resource requirements of a full node are moving beyond" I
didn't extract from that that "there are implementation issues that
need to be improved to make it work better for low resource users" due
to the word "requirements".
