Yeah, I've been looking forward to this voting power change ever since I read about it. It's disappointing that such an obviously beneficial change is being rejected, even by the very people who it's going to help the most.

I've actually told friends this week to wait and sign up for steemit after this fork because it's going to be so much better for new minnows... I'm probably going to tell them to wait longer now. That's ok... I'm sure it will change eventually.
