RE: My opinion on the upcoming v17 hardfork.
I think it's quite stupid to oppose any features at this point. HF is published and the date is set. If somebody wants to make some changes, they need to be implemented in HF18. Let's just get over with this one as soon as possible and not waste any more time.
We have been told by a Steemit employee that such releases are considered only "a proposal" until and unless approved by witness/stakeholder vote. Just because it is tagged as a release doesn't mean it should necessarily be approved.
Yeah, but unless there is a really big problems, it should be accepted. All the minor things can be fixed or adjusted in the next HF.
Changes to the economic rules are never minor things, and are subject to community and stakeholder approval. In this particular case, these are some of the most significant changes ever made, with the possible exception of HF16. The creation of an entirely separate reward pool for comments and increasing the delay for the first payout by about 7x (sometimes a bit less if payouts are extended due to late voting) are especially significant. I agree there are other minor changes and bug fixes included which no one would see any reason to not approve. The exact same situation presented in HF14, and in that case it was decided instead to delay and revise the release link
