Potential Merits to the Network:
The change to the ideal_stake parameter is applied via a runtime upgrade and does not affect the consensus mechanism or validator operations. The network will continue to function as intended, with no disruptions for participants. This upgrade ensures validator operator sustainability and ensures a well-incentivised validator set as the network continues to grow.
