I agree it is complicated and not all are going to agree on anything.
The risks you mention are real! The balance is we have a HUGE blockchain making it difficult for exchanges, witnesses, etc. to manage. Every transaction has a real world cost that everyone with stake is paying for.
When you say... YOU. You say we. :) I don't have any more influence on these decisions than you do. I just try to understand and help communicate.
:) on the "we" comment... That is one of the nicer things I've heard lately! :P
And I understand the balance is an issue, I hope that whoever is in charge takes the time to read this post's comments. The frustration is real and even if its based on lack of information, it still is a negative overall nonetheless.
And you are doing a great job of helping to understand and communicate. I wish we have some people at the top that were just like you. If you want a job, I can campaign for you to get the role of "Customer Relations"... ;)
