hahha yeah. But it also can be useful.
Some people will want smart contracts and upgradeability at the expense of security(layer 2), while others will just want a community token only used for PoB, transfers and balances with maximum security (layer 1).
The code for layer 1 is already done by the ex-steemit team, and I remember you had a lot of experience testing it and understanding it. Would be kind of a waste to let it all go away.
