We have the gift of hindsight now. The overall community was not solicited for input, though tactically I'm not sure how that could have occured. I understand the reasoning behind why it was done it was a coin toss for me. On a fundamental level, the dev fund being eliminated would have been enough to protect the HIVE chain from the same type of attack as befell steem. The remainder of the fake witness voters probably should have been given their drop and allowed to dump it. For the sole reason of creating less drama. What's done is done. There is far less justification now for any further shenanigans regarding refusal to process transactions on any side.

Thanks for the comment.
