Why are we engaging on this?

The Helia maintainers have a goal of getting 10 rabidly enthusiastic production Helia users by IPFS Camp (early November) and 20 by end of the year. Given there is a lot of PL support and investment in HackFS and it lets us connect with ~1000 builders, this is a good forcing function to pick up new adopters, get the word out more about Helia, and at the minimum see the user pain points.
