Thanks for the link - I missed that part. I just wish they had gotten on this earlier because it would have been better for the network, as there is more danger in reducing issuance without it than with it. I'm glad they're finally getting serious about it though, and hope it won't hit any snags and gets implemented as quickly as is reasonably possible.
the concern has always been diverting attention from what is really important: proof of stake
The people working on PoS don't have to be the same people who work on an algorithm update for the interim before PoS. I don't see why doing this should affect the implementation of Casper at all. Am I missing something?
