RE: The best protocol level solution to the Tron takeover impasse: DO NOTHING

So in essence, if he got involved in the politics without an
organic consensus, he'd in essence be forking himself over.
This as opposed to the Steem community forking him over.
I like this, it might be the smartest post yet on the matter-
if I'm not missing any important angles, which I could be.
If he's put on notice that astroturf-forking is tantamount
to forking himself over, he would be less inclined to do it.

    If Sun is able to changes the protocol in a backwards-incompatible way, the community can either:

    1. upgrade their nodes to the new protocol, thereby accepting the rotten rules but keeping a single chain.
    2. remain on the existing protocol, thereby having two parallel protocols running that share a common ledger up to a certain point and then diverge (like Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash).
