You are being the loyal company man

Um, no, I'm not part of any company having to do with Steem or Steemit. I'm speaking only for myself. If you don't agree with my views, that's perfectly okay, but that's what they are, my own views.

You agree with that, right?

In an ideal world, yes. We don't live in an ideal world.

which includes that biggest stakeholder who you would think would have a responsibility for testing one of their most frequent and most important blockchain interactions

What do you suppose we should do about that? We have no authority over them. We (witnesses) can block all releases until they shape up, until and unless they decide to vote witnesses out (in contradiction to their previous representations that they wouldn't, but they can still do it) and vote in their own puppets. Or we can engage with them and encourage process improvements. So far we have pursued the latter and made some progress with it.

I believe I already responded to most of your comments in my previous reply. This seems to be getting repetitive so I'll decline to rehash it but if you have any new, and well-focused comments or questions I'll be happy to address them.
