Good write up. I'd argue the DHF needs a serious change. As it stands, blocktrades can pass almost anything by himself. We need to consider both how to make the voting process a little more fair and there need to be more requirements on people who get DHF funding to prove they are using the funds well, as opposed to now where some get funding and then don't do anything.
But anyway, all good stuff! That reminds me I need to take a look at my witness votes and adjust them.
