My feeling is that too many have too much stake to let things die because of STINC's business plans. Maybe, now, folks will realize the advantages of voting for Witnesses that are good software engineers first, like @timcliff to name but one, and good contest organizers secondly. 😎
Hopefully. I haven't seen a rush for any of the largest stake holders and witnesses to build much though. That needs to change if steemit,inc takes a back seat.
It is my feeling this has been long overdue. It was the subject of my fourth post on the blockchain.
It has been very heartening to see some great brainstorming the very day after Ned's announcement.
We really have to put decentralized back into the decentralized blockchain. After 3 years it is time to leave the nest, in my opinion.
It could turn out to be great news in the long run, or it could be the beginning of the end of steem. Hoping for the former.

The following brainstorming by themarkymark, anyx and bobinson, only hours after Ned's announcement seemed promising.

Hopefully things like this get implemented. From my experience talk is much cheaper than actual implementation. :) We will see.
