Millisats might not be a feature we need now, or something we can't think that we would need tomorrow, but in my opinion, it might be a feature that we might be thankful for

I suppose the only question remaining would be "Are there any downsides from a technical perspective"? If there's no harm in future-proofing, it seems like an obvious thing to do. So I can't help but think that if there were no cost to doing it, it might have been implemented before now. I'm guessing that perhaps it makes transactions larger if we have to store extra digits in the blockchain? Another 4 characters to go from 8 to 12 decimal places may not sound much, but ideally we want transaction sizes smaller to aid with scaling.

What? But I thought it doesn't include the extra 4 decimal places onchain after closing of the channel because the extra 4 are unenforeable. I'm currently confused. Hahaha.

I think the confusion is mine. I thought you were talking about having millisats on-chain at some point in future.
