There is a lot of talk about regaining from both sides, there is no talk about what to do when regained. What to do to fix the issue'(s). No talk of a change to how witnesses are selected by the witnesses nor by Justin Sun, only by the bystanders. I have seen several comments of the need to change the system, I my self have made suggestions, but the overwhelming response prior to the Sun'ified witness block was that no one person could control who the top 20 witnesses were. As we have seen they were wrong in that assumption.

There have been several users comments on how to fix the down vote issue, they have been ignored as not an issue, until larger accounts started getting down voted. Yet still all suggestions to fix a broken down vote system is ignored.

There have been parties other than steemit.inc that have wanted to make changes upgrades to the api that runs the chain, all being ignored or told to wait til after SMT's. There is no system that does not go through steemit for other development teams to make changes to the code.

What this has shown the users, the developers, the investors, is that there are things that need to be fixed, that have been ignored for to long, and ideas of fixing them should be taken as a priority, especially the witness selection system.
