III.2. Protocol Changes
Hardforks and key protocol changes are accepted by 17 out of 20 consensus witnesses. Witnesses accept protocol changes by updating their nodes or reject them by continuing to run the present version. Protocol changes will not be applied and take effect until consensus is reached. All protocol changes are proposed, developed, prepared for and implemented through a transparent and collaborative team-working environment. They are entirely open source from initiation to their final release.
But in all reality it will not ever come close to support as the only way a proposal can be passed is if the same people that enjoy downvoting would have to support with needing 30 million HP staked votes on it lol
Which was another way to Highlight how much inequality there is with DPoS
