Thank you Helium miners!
And the situation with almost any LoRaWAN feature is pretty close to that what I described above. It doesn't seem to be a secret for the Helium team, they aren't all idiots. That's why they have been trying to integrate Chirpstack open source LoRaWAN server with Helium ( https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/23 , https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/24 , https://github.com/helium/packet-purchaser/issues/25). I wish them a good luck, but from that what I see in the code and in the issues description, the result can be more disastrous than that "Light Hotspot transition". And, of course, this work should be started a couple of years ago.

Please take another look at this link which I already posted: https://github.com/helium/router/issues/642

How do I send a downlink message instantly? A downlink message is only received after an uplink one. For 5 seconds max delay on downlink, I need to send 17280 empty/dummy uplinks (polling for downlinks) every day.
Class C support doesn't require GW FW update. They just don't seem to have enough dev resources to make changes to their server code (see https://github.com/helium/router/issues/642 for more details. BTW, that guy who raised the issue is Semtech's VP of BizDev).

HIP51 and why it's important for HNT
Take a look, for instance, at this: https://github.com/helium/router/issues/642 That guy who created the issue is Senior Director LoRa Business Development at Semtech (which owns LoRa). And what's their answer? " As you can imagine we often hear prospects mention they will deploy "100,000's" of devices if only (insert magical blank)." Heck, first deploy that works properly, and only when ask for money...
