RE: HF 20 - lessons finally learned?
I think he means that the testnet should undergo the hardfork in a similar way to the real net later, at least that's what I would want

Yes, that's what I meant.
That's the ideal situation and existing public testnet should be suitable enough to catch those problems, but it wasn't. This is the mix between empty testnet and the fully working mainnet (made by injecting some of transactions that are happening on the mainnet). This way we can have reasonably small blockchain with some semi-natural traffic "borrowed" from real mainnet users.
Biggest problem I see is small amount of tools helping in that process. Kudos for @roadscape for his awesome steemd.com and @steemchiller for his awesome SteemWorld.org
Side note, I guess that all that HF20 drama that we are experiencing would be far smaller if we would have more fancy UI/UX with significant gamification:
I felt like that might be the case but didn't want to make a statement on it because I assumed there might be a ton of super-secret-tools that only witnesses knew about ;-)
Absolutely it would! Think how amazing it'd be if there was a whole team at Steemit, Inc. focusing on the front-end experience, always adding new, little "insignificant" things that make people smile and feel good about spending their time here.
