what they should do is, yes, postpone sappling and deal with the ASIC mess right away. Priority should be given to what they said first, which is remain ASIC resistant, alter the algo to eliminate any threat of ASICs... sappling and any other upgrade came after the statements on ASIC resistance and forking off ASICs.
Who the hell are you to decide how they prioritize their work? First of all, there is no ASIC threat or mess. There are just ASICs, which are the natural progression of how coins are mined. ASICs are a good thing to everyone except end users that are worried about nothing more than their profits. Go mine some other shitcoins and stop posting this nonsense before someone actually takes you seriously.
Another idiot stating some kind of "natural progression of things."
The developers of a blockchain decide WHAT is to be "natural" on their blockchain and what "progression" is to occur on their blockchain. If the developers determine they want an ASIC-Resistance algorithm, then they have determined what they want to be "natural" on their algorithm and what will or will not "progress" on their algorithm.
NOTE the following excellent proposal for PROG POW algorithm:
