Since I doubt most people with something to contribute to this topic will read 30+ pages of posts in the Critical News thread --

Whatever else exactly happens with the changes to ADV and development will work --

We should not be able to see other team's budget for the current season.

It provides information and advantages that are not realistic

We can infer a lot by looking at their players and coaches and last year's budget.  That's enough info for educated guesses without making it possible to know who has how much left to spend on FAs and IFAs.

Previous season's budgets should be visible.  I think it's a good way to learn about the game and different strategies that can work.

No season budgets should be visible.    With 4m increments, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out if an owner is going up/down/staying put in a category. 

I'd have no problem with averages being shown for every season.  Even the current one. 

In the main thread someone brought up hiding current season budgets would be a problem for worlds with max/min budget private rules.

The real issue isn't max or min budgeting, it's spending.

There's a report that shows IFA spending. Easy enough to check that to see if anyone spends too much. Then it's up to the commish, the world, and WIS to enforce the rules.

I'm not against the reports that show current salaries & contracts. We need that info to evaluate trades. Easy for a commish to confirm minimum / maximum payroll rules using existing reports.

This tells you everything you need to know with nothing you don't.
