Note that the E2E mechanics - notably the reliance on the master for ACK delivery - is being broken out into a separate discussion and is out of scoop scope for this document. That said, it may be worth spending time to at least discuss whether or not we want to deal with E2E mode in the context of a new master. It may be more work to rearchitect the master while preserving the current ACK mechanism than to simply address ACK delivery concurrently. This is something that should be discussed prior to beginning development as to have a clear path through implementation.
