This referendum is part of the upgrade path to enable Elastic Scaling. It contains the polkadot-sdk 2503-7
update which among other things adds support for slashing/disabling validators that dispute valid candidates and validator re-enabling. This is expected to significantly improve how the system handles dispute spam and allows us to enable RFC103 without causing the finality issues we have seen on our first attempt .
For the full list of changes, please read the fellowship 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 release notes.
