RE: Steem Witness Roadmap for @jerrybanfield in 2018!
What good are witnesses if they can't get together and solve the problems among the contingency?Witnesses are suppose to weigh the concerns to upper management of what the underlings have concerns about.
That's not actually in our job description at all. Some of us DO try to do that, but we have no obligation or requirement to do anything but run a box, and install software to do so. Sometimes opting to continue to patch up or not. The contents of the patches come from open source submissions that get accepted by the core team. There's one choke point in the decentralization fallacy right there. We get a saving throw if the top 20 witnesses don't install that patch as a quorum.
Likewise, if we do pitch ideas, there is no upper management of the block chain, per se, except the coders who accept the patches to the core code and then in turn the top 20 witnesses accepting the new build.
Now guess what, some of them are the same people, and some of them have vested interests in controlling the outcome.
welcome to decentralized centralization.
