I get what you are saying.
But having these discussions "behind closed doors" is not how open source and decentralized systems are created. We are all Hive owners and have just as much right and just as much say in the direction of it as any body else. It's not a centralized, corporate stucture with a board of directors calling the shots for share holders. It's either public or it's not.

Having this kind of discussion now is tatamount and as big as if not more importance of all other prioirties. To make a decision to change something like this later could rip apart or change the direction of things that are being built now or coming. You cant rip out the foundation of a building after you've added the third level and expect that third level to be the same.
