> The proposal to raise the scheduler’s lookahead value from 3 to 5 was approved unanimously, with voters asserting that the change was a necessary technical improvement. They noted that enhancing the lookahead would likely lead to more reliable parachain block production and better block times. One voter mentioned that submitting the proposal with an on-chain identity would have been preferable, though the technical merits ultimately won confidence. Overall, the comments emphasized the update’s value, and the voters’ support reflected a clear consensus that the modification would yield significant operational benefits for parachain scheduling.
