At this point, irrelevant, just whoever is most likely to stay in the top 20. Even that is only in principle at this point, since it'll be maybe another day or 2 until Justin gets almighty power back at which point we all vote for who we're told to vote for.

But it's nice that you're reminiscing about the past =)

If we're talking about the new Steem Chain, then one advantage of being such a small community and entirely online is that quick decisions can be voted on just as quickly. If drastic measures happen, since they are meant to represent us, they can put the question to the blockchain and get a decent response within 24 hours that can help justify the decision by the wider community.

Of course, they will always believe most things should be kept private and secret from the public because that's what people in power do, but in principle (in the form of AI tech), that would be pretty cool.
