Out of curiosity and ignorance: Why, specifically, is MPC going to be
a hard requirement?
On the prerequisites page, MPC is currently described with: "Having
this library will enable additional optimizations on complex numbers."
Does that mean that such optimizations are now an important
requirement? or is MPC being used for something else?
