Hello,

I think it makes total sense for Aave to buy CRV at this level to be well positioned to build long term liquidity for GHO.  
However, I don’t understand why choosing to lock directly CRV into veCRV when it was [voted 4 months](https://snapshot.org/#/aave.eth/proposal/0xf92c5647c7f60a4a3db994b4953fc4408f5946cafdc0cebcd4c5924f40e04d36) ago to go through sdCRV, which is more convenient for Aave for many reasons that were discussed at the time.

Is it part of the preliminary discussions that are being held with Michael?
