This is new since the last time I took a deep dive into things.

This does seem more straightforward, at the cost of essentially all of ETH2's advertised scalability and other features.

It still does not eliminate the challenge of actually performing such a delicate transition on a live economy. Which will be significant on a social front in addition to technical.

Not saying I don't believe these things can be done, or don't believe that they are good idea.
