I understand your objection, and it's why I made this post.

But I should add, it's definitely not an appeasement of any one individual. There's been a number of people asking for something like this for quite a while (i.e. years). Even the actual discussion on mattermost brought in more than a dozen devs and stakeholders, all who were very much in favor of the idea.

And this change isn't possible as a soft fork, unfortunately, because it changes account balances. So if it's delayed, it will likely be delayed a minimum of 6 months.

But nonetheless, I'm glad you've added your comment to the post, as I'm really trying to measure how many people disagree with the idea. For me, this is like an "informal poll" before the true vote that would be associated with witnesses undertaking to upgrade to the HF.

And if there are a number of stakeholders expressing a similar opinion, we can always drop the idea for now. At the moment, from my readings in the comments, I think you're in the minority on this issue, but this post hasn't been around long, so we'll see how it goes.
