I think this is a great governance method in order to keep the network flowing with dapps that will be used. Im sure they will launch the voting system with the launch of the mainnet here is a couple of weeks. They say that there will be over 1,000 dapps ready in June for launch so the platform should be in beta completely before then.
So they're going to launch a mainnet? Will that really be a 'mainnet' testnet? FAQ #5 gives the idea that no "mainnet" can exist until someone else put it in place. Wow, I'm feeling really out of touch with the matter.
You are right! It is like another testnet but it is Dawn 3.0 which is more closer to a beta than the public alpha we are currently in. See this post by the team: https://steemit.com/eos/@eosio/dawn-3-0-alpha-announcement
Slowly but surely I'm getting up to speed on this. Thanks!
