Why do you feel that asking for witness vote decay means "attacking Steemit" ? There are other people (including myself) who think that "witness vote decay" is an interesting feature that could potentially help the system: it would "stimulate" witnesses to not "sleep on their laurels" but rather go out and continuously engage with the community. Like in politics: if politicians were assured of your vote forever, they would make even less efforts than they make today, don't you think ?
