Hi @lukestokes ! What you just wrote and the phone conversation you had with this people sounds amazing. I believe that what you mention can be approved by consensus just as DACs work. Is there currently a mechanism on the Steem Blockchain to vote for this type of things?
On the other hand I agree with you that a proposal can be created and submitted via @utopian-io, so we can get a quote from this company to create the needed changes to make the Steem Blockchain the community is looking for.
Congratulations for your acknowledgement on EOS!

Thank you. :)
