1000 is a lot!!
That's like saying we don't want the steem proposal system.
Well technically it's like saying we don't want half of it. Because right now looks like 2000sbd are being added each day.
How come you went with 1000sbd instead of 2000 or just 1 million like the refund?
I wanted the proposal to burn a significant amount without necessarily being overwhelming.
If people want to burn more, can easily make another proposal as well as this one. I didn't want to go with a huge number that could very quickly eliminate the DAO funds, because if this was pushed up above the return policy maliciously (for example because someone lowered the return policy in order to facilitate something else, and then this was pushed up in response, temporarily having a false kind of consensus), that any damage it would do would be limited by the time it was up.
The idea is to somewhat reduce Steem inflation when it is desirable, not to eliminate DAO funds entirely, asap.
Another way to do this would be to have multiple smaller proposals (say 100 SBD each, or perhaps an assortment of sizes like physical coins: 100,100,100,100,500,etc.). As many as desired could be voted up and the rest voted down.
We should have more than half a million SBD in a year, so I guess this proposal is good to burn some SBD "quickly". But I also agree with @smooth that multiple proposals with different amounts would be good.
