I wouldn't be singling out valueplan if your concern is the effect (on the price) of the total amount of spending. Vote up the return proposal to make it harder for lower-ranked proposals to get funded. The ones that get cut off are the ones with the least amount of stakeholder support.
Of course, if you think VP isn't a worthwhile project, then by all means unvote it, but that didn't seem to be the case from the text of your post (didn't watch the video).
I don't mean to single out valueplan, for sure. So maybe I left the wrong impression. But I did mean to focus the analysis on it since it has the biggest funding and the effect on price would be more easily seen there. Another approach would be to analyze all the proposals combined and probably that is a worthwhile one to do as well (although might be more complicated, and I think it's more useful if you take a very close look at the granular data and notice patterns that way). Another reason is that in the interest of sparking some change in stakeholder voting, the valueplan seemed like the one that will have the most effect and probably the easiest to make changes to (though still not easy). So I wanted to inform stakeholders about it.
I looked roughly at all the proposals (excluding the stabilizer which returns the payments) and it was around 5 million USD per year. Seemed like a lot given the current market cap. So overall I agree with some budget cutting right now.
