The current ones have grown complex due to the LND protocol fixes over the years and the constraint that LND wire protocol must be backward compatible. There's also quirks in underlying protocol/hardware that each LND had to deal with. A brand new one should not come even close in complexity. > If I have further questions about the development of a LND (and I am > sure there will be more questions): is the lustre-devel mailing list > the right place to ask?
