This is what I fear the most. Because there is development out there, with way fewer business interests in the success of the Blockchain ( @aggroed and co.) and more personal and ideological interest (prooven). The weaker Steemit Inc. gets, the more powerful they get. So it's also a gamble, especially since Steem-Engine is running.
Whom would you like to be in charge? It becomes a problem when fast pace destabilizes the whole chain and mainly benefits Steemit inc. Does that sound crazy to you?
I'm not sure but it sounds like you think the fast pace of things, and the decisions made at a fast pace, benefits Steemit Inc. much more than it benefits other people, groups, etc. who use the Steem blockchain.
