A background summary of the issue…

There were concerns about the volitility and liquidity of the “bridged” RenDoge, and that it could be difficult to mint if you needed to liquidate, however there was a suggestion that as RenDoge is a 1:1 wrapper, then it was the (high) liquidity of the underlying asset (ie Doge) that should be considered rather than the Ren wrapped version, as you can convert Doge to RenDoge on demand through the Ren bridge.
