What's done?

Notes that TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFICULTY parameter must be hardcoded into client software distribution. See the corresponding change in the consensus layer for additional details and rationale ethereum/consensus-specs#2605.

This feels over-prescriptive for a specification. How exactly clients go about doing releases and configuration should be up to the individual clients. What is required for consensus is that clients get TTD from somewhere. One can imagine a client that just fetches TTD from some centralized (trusted) source for example, or maybe from an on-chain DAO contract, or some other mechanism.
