I'm delighted to hear that!
There's an old proposal called "eltoo" (or, these days, called "ln-symmetry") where there's no penalty phase if one side accidentally publishes an old state: you just fix it up instead. This does some cool things:
1. No more risky backups, where you can lose all your funds by restoring an old backup.
2. You can now have more than 2 parties sharing a channel, and build on top of that.
3. We can reduce latency for payments in some cases, making it twice as fast.
4. It's generally simpler: you only need to remember the last state, as you can fixup and old ones
As to not knowing who I am, that's totally fair! I would much rather people evaluate a proposal on its merits, not the reputation of the proposer. As a non-expert, it can be impossible to distinguish someone who is good at their job, from someone who is good at self-promotion :(
I don't like the line of reasoning that just because a change was made in the past that allowed for something good (lightning) that that somehow justifies the risk of change today. Bitcoin is growing exponentially, and so is all that is at stake. This could be one of the greatest things for humanity's future.
