This is first and foremost an organizational problem for Bitshares. Despite the best governance model for a blockchain, it can't get stakeholders to cooperate efficiently. That's why I've been quite skeptical about Bitshares for a long time. It's not really that hard to see that the lack of efficient cooperation will cause bad times for business.
If Bitshares wants to get up from this, it needs to think how to improve the organization. When the organization is in good shape, new features will be developed fast without drama and hassle.
That is exactly what I can see and understand, like one who is not familiar enough from technical side of matter. I'd start to invest in bts, but after reading this kind of stuff I'm becoming a bit worried. Polite said.
