Right, sorry about that.
I still think the point stands. Every new entrypoint adds
complexity that we need to manage, and I'd love for us to take a long
hard look at new ones and not just allow whatever people want. ACTIVE is
a great example of a state where we make a ton of assumptions about what
the node is doing and what metadata it has.
