It doesn't change the problem: what is a good process for doing this in knots?
Should it begin in some community consensus? From where?
Should it start with developers? How much should be discussed before presenting to the community?
Earlier you said,
But what is your better proposal for doing this?
For starters, we shouldn't fund developers who have little real world experience, or developers who are not heavily invested in bitcoin.

How should we decide interest rates? Should central banks be independent?
Its a stupid question, you're holding the spear at the wrong end.
Its so ironic because the reason we're all here is because someone decided to take the shaft and throw it properly.

Well, my friend, I believe we have reached the end of our productive conversation. I've appreciated your comments and I wish you the best in your shaft-gripping endeavors.
