The intent is to reward uses as well as receive rewards for content. I don't see how losing stake weight by powering down helps at all. This means that everyone will either power down and say "forget it, I'm not going to participate anymore because I'm obligated to keep my STEEM POWER up in order to have an influence on voting" or fewer and fewer people will power down (which I don't see happening, as the intent of this is to earn money and still be able to cash out). Users shouldn't be punished for withdrawing their earnings. I think the 104 weeks alone for powering down is fine.
