   Signet looks a more proper testing network, and it requires less resources.

   Concept ACK from my side. However, I would like to hear other reviewers’ perspectives.

   Weak Concept NACK. If testnet is really too burdensome, maybe it’s time to reset it, but I don’t see a reason to obsolete it in favour of signet.

   … I don’t see a reason to obsolete it in favour of signet.

   0$ du -h testnet3/blocks
   129G	testnet3/blocks
   2$ du -h signet/blocks
   3206M	signet/blocks
   

   On devices with constrained capabilities signet is more comfortable to test non-pruned nodes.
