honestly, having scrolled thru various threads of late, i got the impression there wasn't any real organic enthusiasm for another 'feature fork' - the whole taproot thing being associated with all the ordinals/inscriptions garbage that everyone hates is probably the cause of that.
it didn't seem like it was even broad anti fork feelings as such, more of a reluctance to risk more 'unintended consequences' for something that may or may not be 'nice', but doesn't feel particularly imperative/urgent - in contrast, segwit was a long battle, but it got tied up with a cause - ie the narrative of fighting a hostile takeover- that made people rally to it.
you can't fake it to make it though, so if there isn't a 'vital' feel around it, it's probably not going to gain momentum, or attract interest in that way.
just sayin

There isn't much enthusiasm for CTV but there is some. I'm doing my part to bring more enthusiasm to the effort!

Yes, there is a reluctance to that, but I don't think it is an intelligent criticism, it is too vague. Arguing against a fork due to "possible unintended consequences" is essentially equivalent to saying "something bad might happen, not sure what." Which proves too much, because it is equally applicable to all possible actions, including inaction.
When faced with a choice like "should we do nothing or activate CTV or activate something else" I think it is unwise to worry about unnamed maybes (especially after years of research) and instead criticize based on known and identified vulnerabilities, compared with known and identified positives. And if you make that comparison I think CTV really shines.

I hope my content is evidence that I'm not faking it, and I hope it attracts more support for CTV
