I did fight for it. But the conversation sorta ended very abruptly for some reason. I think it was because ned suddenly said he'd support it coming from author/curation because some of the community were trying to hold him to the $2m or $6m or whatever he allegedly promised as funding for the SPS.

Nevertheless, now that people have a better understanding of the EIP and believe it could go a long way to fixing overall voting behavior here, they may be more reluctant to take it from author/curator. Either way the 1-2% of extra staking returns from vesting interest on an underlying asset as volatile as Steem does next to nothing and is a complete waste of inflation.
