Well, I don't know if I would go for the dying part... :)
The truth is, the EIP part of HF21 has caused a lot of grief so far, both for users in its implementation, and in the bugs it's been creating.
I really hold no loyalties to the powers that be, be it Steemit Inc or those in the community who have been trying to steer things. And since the latter is basically telling us to chill (Steemit doesn't have to tell us now, I guess), I'm feeling less and less a need to do it. :)
