This seems to be a long term plan. But the challenge that we are facing is an existential crisis of sorts and need a short term action plan and a long term vision. The word existential crisis is subjective and considers centralization of a public ledger as a (sybil) attack. Forking or otherwise (ie voting out the sybil-attackers) is required to re-establish the fact that Steem is a blockchain.
Right now Steem is a database and NOT a blockchain.
I agree and support short term efforts to establish a better chain for Steemians. Two groups can work on problems at the same time.
