Thanks for the proposal @maclane.
With the proposed changes, the network would not make use of non-beta staker nodes, which makes me wonder if we would need the bootstrap nodes established by TIP-045: Bootstrap Node Proposal v2 and extended under TIP-074 Bootstrap Operator Agreement Extension.
TIP-074 is set to expire at the end of January 2025, and I have been working on a continuation proposal. Bootstrap nodes are not an insignificant expense at $30K per month.
Bootstrap nodes provide Electrum connectivity for nodes when using default settings, and aid in peer discovery. Beta stakers are expected to run their own Bitcoin and ElectrumX/Fulcrum instances (incorporated by reference in TIP-067 part1 and part2, more detail here). With this proposal, peer discovery could rely on the set of beta stakers until the network becomes fully permissionless and the beta staker program is retired.
If that is the case, I propose ending the bootstrap agreements as part of this proposal, or not renewing TIP-074.
