Out of curiosity and ignorance: Why, specifically, is MPC going to be a hard requirement? On the prerequisites page, MPC is currently described with: "Having this library will enable additional optimizations on complex numbers." Does that mean that such optimizations are now an important requirement? or is MPC being used for something else?
