My hat's off to you @timcliff! It is extremely important to have more contributions to the core blockchain development from the community and not always be reliant on Steemit, Inc.

It's great that they are focusing on the larger projects, but there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to still have smaller community-driven hard forks while that is going on.

There's a lot of talk about changing things to improve the platform, but very little action. I would love to see a system of financial rewards put in place to further encourage these type of improvements like some other platforms have. In the meantime though, it's great to have top witnesses like yourself contributing in this way.
