Verlenging naturalisatietermijnen

I do not completely agree with the proposed extension of the naturalisation period from 5 to 10 years. As highly skilled migrants, we have already been living in the Netherlands for several years and are actively contributing to Dutch society, particularly in the fields of technology and ICT.
Moreover, our child is already attending a Dutch school and learning the Dutch way of living. Extending the naturalisation period to 10 years would be a setback for families like ours, as we are already planning to formally integrate within the next two years.
The Netherlands has always been known for its welcoming and inclusive attitude toward skilled expats. It would therefore be appreciated if this extension could either be reconsidered with appropriate transitional arrangements or, ideally, not implemented at all — as a 5-year period is already sufficient for meaningful integration.
