There shouldn't be a person 'in charge'. Getting rid of the ninja stake only gets rid of the ninja stake.
I wish more people understands this. If we need decentralized system as we claim it is, the system design should be done in such a way that there should be hard coded rules that will not change with people's ego. The way I look at the current drama is a failure by the design to incorporate multiple scenarios. It must be remedied in the long term.
