Abstained because I think the issues are complex. I dislike n^2 as much if not more than you do but replacing with something radically flatter changes the nature of the system a lot. I would probably support it but I don't think it should be rushed "urgently" nor do I necessarily believe it solves all related problems. Stake weighting, especially with wildly unequal stake (which is likely in any case) in a social context carries its own baggage independent of the curve. Possibly acceptable but again this is a more complex question and not one to be solved with a quick fix.
