I think we would not change the way of communication.
Maybe only to add an active notifications to the storagenode dashboard, but it is not in a roadmap too. They are almost static or provided by the node itself (like a DQ message or a Suspension message).
no, it’s not. But you may change the binary location in multiple ways:
You may also mount this location from a different drive or even a docker volume. The last one would also solve any permissions issues, I believe.
