A shorter power down is actually a pretty valid reason for a fork.
But, I'm sure there will be services in the future that allow you to borrow against your account and power down quicker, perhaps selling the account or some such.
Perhaps there should be different levels of powering up. The standard 13 week power down is like certain types of investment. Like CD's or whatever. Maybe we could have some other type that has a quicker power down but limited benefits.
Roger, is that you?
