The problem is that some of the current witnesses may be against it as it may directly impact their 'earnings' and a seat at the Top 20 table...

That is part of the problem with this system, the foxes are watching the hen house.

But this is something we absolutely need to change for this place to be even remotely decentralized. As it stands right now we have 2 stake holders basically deciding 19 of top 20 witnesses... that has to change.
