The solution would be to just allow the use of the particular mod and let the potential artefacting detriments be at the user’s discretion.
We definitely need more overall communication so it’s more clear what the whole community wants, instead of just the ones within the normal limited visual range of the team.
I don’t think it’s necessary to thin them out really though. Keeping everyone up to speed, or even better setting up a tracker thing (forget the name of it), as has been mentioned before, that shows all of the active features being considered or worked on, in one clean and concise place - the canny is a mess and difficult to navigate.
