Exactly!
Just read about the Wise tool today (Github-link) that could be used to bypass those 7 days. Actually using this there will be no need to delegate. Basically you set a X amount of votes (or voteweight) for a specific user on a daily or weekly basis and this user is able to vote via wise with your account (sure you need to calculate due to the curation reward but it certainly could be used for it depending on the use)
wow, thank you for bringing up our project in this thread :)
Yeah, total control of your VotingPower is one of the many benefits of using Wise in comparison to native SteemPower delegation. With Wise protocol, a delegator has a full control over how his VotingPower is spent... if he will not like a way, hot his VotingPower is used... he has a way to reverse all unwanted actions.
We are going to release an announcement about Wise in next few days, but even right now people can learn a it from an interview which @lukestokes made with me :)
