I think you make wrong assumptions here. The most of witnesses are for the delay because of a strong belief that it will lead to a better HF17 (with more consensus)... Not because they like more the current version... There are many subjects open and great debates are happening... I personally believe it will not hurt us if we delay for 1 week (for example) but we make the right tweaks that will reach great consensus... Take a look for start on this table about witnesses opinion's....

This is an excellent chart @liondani thank you for posting it!
Keep in mind this posting is to let people know who is supporting it in it's current form. Which to my mind is the correct stance.
Adopt what Steemit inc has proposed in it's entirety and see how it goes. I trust these guys to make the right decisions in part because I can see how this plays out long term and I think they have the right vision.
What I fear is that we're going to fall into the same trap bitcoin is under where nothing can happen because too many people have too many opposing ideas and don't trust the dev team to deliver the very best product for the people.
Eitherway, people should be made aware that this is going on and I hope I rang the alarm bells loudly enough that people can hear it and make up their own minds.
