- This referendum wants to cancel an earlier one (#106) that upgrades Kusama to runtime 9380.
- A new referendum will be proposed later to do the upgrade when everyone is ready.
- Runtime 9380 has XCM v3, which is a big change and not compatible with Karura yet.
- Karura will upgrade next week to fix the compatibility issue.
- XCM v0 and v1 support is removed, so wallets and apps need updates to work with the new version.
- Teams have less than 2 weeks to update and test their systems, which is stressful.
- There’s no rush for this upgrade, so it’s better to wait until everyone is ready.
