RE: Who likes hard forking?
This is the part I'm most confused about. People think if Ned doesn't stop powering down it leaves only one option , and that is to fork?

No there are three options in the event of a continued power down. 1. Fork. 2. Accept a future with a dominant stakeholder whose stake is hidden. 3. Sell your stake and exit.
Have a funny feeling that 2 will most likely happen. Then, followed by 3.
You could be psychic.
And number 4. Hf with a modest curve to dissuade stake splitting and make flagging more accessible and inviting and force all abusers of self voting, bidbots and circlejerking out of the system through one massive community account that flags everything into fucking oblivion starting with the largest abusers first.
This doesn't address the underlying problem which explains why none of this issues have been addressed in the 18 months since the introduction of linear rewards. The underlying problem is the inability and/or unwillingness of the dominant stakeholder to undertake effective development to address problems with the platform, or even to deliver on enhancements such as SMTs, while at the same time acting to keep all development in house, and obstructing and threatening anyone who tries to interfere.
None of that is changing here, in fact it is far worse due to the dominant stake becoming invisible.
Obviously linear was not smart. Especially combined with delegations, but it wouldn't matter what the dominant stakeholders won't do or will threaten to because the issue will still need to be resolved, and forcing a hf among the witnesses can and will happen and any attack will probably deliver a Streisand Effect that will make the break that much more likely. That obviously isn't preferable, but if stinc wishes to perish into infamy let them.
