Yeah, actually I'm very much in alignment with the point of view that the target should be user growth and retention, and that the talk about burns really is on the side. It's not clear from the discussions what is being prioritized, and that is valid feedback. We've laid out a basic framework though, and there's a lot of room within it.
The next step is the rubric, though, and these points will be made much clearer then.
Sounds good! My intention here is not to criticize (I think the committee has done an overall very solid job), but more to emphasize that this is an opportunity to help projects move in a better direction. As I said a few times during the discussions in response to the question "why do businesses that are already sustainable need a delegation", the point is to improve the impact of work that has extra positive impact for Steem, and user growth and retention should be number 1 on that list.
