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.

No-brainer concept ACK

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.
```
$ du -h testnet3/blocks
29G	testnet3/blocks
$ du -h signet/blocks
206M	signet/blocks
```
On devices with constrained capabilities signet is more comfortable to test non-pruned nodes.
