It’s strange to see open source development framed this way. Liquid eMode evolved from eMode.
Labs designed and shipped eMode in Aave V3, including the category system, the risk parameter framework, and the health factor logic that ties it all together. And without a doubt it played a role in the successful launch of V3.
BGD Labs then re-architected the configuration model so that an asset can belong to multiple categories with granular roles, etc. These changes made eMode fit the needs of the market almost 2 years later, which is a welcome evolution.
Both contributions are super important, and both deserve credit. That is the whole point of open source software and the DAO.
