I'm for this change. Looking through the comments a lot of people are just scared of being dumped on.
It's not my responsibility to protect your investment. My money is mine, and yours is yours. We should be pushing for more freedom and flexibility.
For the security concern, one month is long enough and the security of your funds is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I don't want a nanny system "protecting" my money when it's obviously more a mechanism to control volatility and "lock you in". I think that some lock up time is warranted since powering up gives you additional perks, but 3 months is way too long in my opinion.
As some have stated, the way to get investors and keep them is to create value, period. I think the current powerdown schedule would be more of a deterrent than a boon for investors.
