That depends on which document we're talking about. Near as I can tell the only document that matters has never made it past the proposal stage which has led to much fts-0001.016 compliant software incapable of getting their packed MSGs to propogate beyond their own node(s).

Given the current situation then the only limitation is whatever works to successfully propagate one's packed MSG(s) across the network.

Good question. From this angle it appears we need the elections in order to attract postings. The increase in traffic is always much higher when there is a FTSC election despite the lack of any meaningful interactions once the election is over.
Life is good,
