Wrote about some of the concerns around FCC compliance in #meshtastic and #meshcore which includes the testing done by Philly Mesh over the summer.
I don't fault Philly for deciding to switch over to MC given they are more concerned with a reliable mesh than supporting any particular project/tech. But seeing this sort of fragmentation does make me personally less enthusiastic about getting involved.
