RE: Who is nijeah?
That's not how coding works. Especially in something as sensitive as a blockchain.
You don't just try something and see if it breaks things. You write a test for it and if you have a suspicion about a bug, you'll let those people know, who are responsible and if you can fix it yourself - you'll do that.
Is there a live testnet for the STEEM blockchain? I agree that would be a more conservative place to try an operation like this. However, I'm a bit astonished that something as simple as prohibiting a negative power down has not been patched in 2 years. Then again, until it happened, it could just seem absurd.
Yes, STEEM has of course a testnet.
https://developers.steem.io/testnet/
https://testnet.steem.vc/
That is strange, then, that the operation wasn't tried there first. Perhaps there was some malicious intent after all.
Actually there are several testnets, and the option to set up an own one: https://developers.steem.io/testnet/

Hehe.
But I'm pretty sure nearly every coder had a time where they just wanted to finish an update/feature.
Just. One. Last. Commit ...
