Honestly, if a permissioned edition of testnet is necessary for uninterrupted development, lets do it.
The value of testnet is that coins have no value. Bitcoin is permissionless, but a chain that has no value (other than testing) doesn't have to be.

And yet we are saying the same thing.
Testnet3 is not the same network as testnet2 or testnet1.

Exactly. Lopp didn't use any dev rights for his "attack", anybody could do that.

Yes, testing apps and have at hand some testsats.
Not to attack it and make everybody else fucked.

I'm not privy to all the drama, but it seems that lopp wasn't being listened to and decided to take drastic measures. I'm not completely against what he did. And it doesn't seem like such a big drama, does it? I'm not ironizing, I may not know something important.

It is a drama. And is quite big.
Many apps devs are relying on testnet to find bugs, reproduce them etc.
if they aren't able to use this network, all the apps development is stuck.
This is not like me screaming out loud on SN to people to listen to my warnings and then post even more. Stackers can mute me, but still will not be warned and later will regret it.
This bullshit attack is useless anyways and prove nothing.

I see your point. There were constraints on bitdevs, maybe now something will be done to solve the problems he pointed out. Anarchy is like that ...

Testnet even has a disclaimer that it doesn't guarantee network normalcy. Tests should be on signet for that reason.

Wikipedia has always had a very cool rule - "Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point". I find it a very good general life rule - don't be a dick (and trash some common property) for no reason.
This stunt definitely deserves the "shit in the jacuzzi" description. He achieved nothing that couldn't be pointed out by a post that describes the vulnerability. Other than showing everyone that he's a dick.

Somehow it all reminds me of promoting made up ideas and mining a shit tonne of transactions on mainnet. Folks running nodes are actively testing LN while in beta.

Finding loopholes are important before everything gets implemented.
Plus he had a legit reason to try and test it.

This isn't news. It's how testnet was designed.
