Time to add CSFS to Signet?

The email from Weikeng to Moonsettler on the Bitcoin Development Mailing List raises a pertinent question regarding the integration of LNHANCE's "mutinynet" into the existing "signet" for further testing. Weikeng acknowledges the functional status of the "mutinynet," indicating its readiness and potential utility for testing purposes within the broader development landscape. The inquiry delves into whether it would be more strategic to proceed with the addition of this network to the "signet" or to defer such actions until there is further advancement with CTV (CheckTemplateVerify) and CSFS (not specified but generally referring to cryptographic or security features) within the bitcoin/bitcoin repository, particularly looking at their progression towards PRs (Pull Requests) and eventual deployment on the testnet.

This communication underscores the ongoing development efforts and considerations within the Bitcoin community, especially in terms of enhancing the network's functionality and security through new features and testing environments. The decision-making process highlighted in the email reflects a careful consideration of timing and integration strategies that could influence the effectiveness of these developments in improving the Bitcoin protocol. The mention of both "mutinynet" and "signet" points to a layered approach to testing and development, where various networks serve different roles in vetting and fine-tuning updates before they are rolled out more broadly.
