feat: privileged-builders

[MrKoberman]

Privileged builders are a list of public keys of builders from which bids will be accepted first, even if the bid is lower. If no bids are received from the privileged builders, bids from other builders will be accepted.

This is useful when you have a special contract with specific relays and you would like to have their blocks used instead of other relays. While still having other relays as a fallback.

There was a 6 month interlude between community calls. Would @ralexstokes be interested in hosting another call a week after EthCC?

[metachris]

You could start a thread in the forum requesting it, and propose/collect agenda items.

[ralexstokes]

yeah @sambacha happy to have another call

can you add agenda items here? https://collective.flashbots.net/t/mev-boost-community-call-10-date-tba/3654

I'll likely wait until I feel there's enough to discuss but I can see it worthwhile having a call soon after EthCC
