My issue here is that I don’t have transparency about why, for example, the EF is able to act as you claim. Security through opacity doesn’t work well, and I understand that you can’t disclose all information for security reasons either. The current situation is like: please trust the EF that we’re doing our job properly. I’m not saying this is not the case, but the required information is (at least publicly) not available. Also, peers can always be censored via ISPs so it’s important to have globally distributed bootnodes available to preserve the censorship-resistance core value and resilience of Ethereum as a whole.
