Id say thats a good course of action. What id recommend is for you to wait a bit more before making the move.
The central kabal needs to sink a bit into despair and garner more ire from the community while you guys need to prove yourself a bit more. There was the Justine fuck up, then there was the Netouso fuck up, there will be more.
Its all a game of convincing 5-6 people that you can deliver. If you get them to sponsor you (i assume you can guess who they are) youll get it funded. If you go on your own without playing politics youre making a big bet on the community being so loud and creating so much pressure that they buckle.
I would not make that bet, yet.
Right now, everyones still repeating the "decentralization" mantra, a few months from now the community will look for people to blame.
Thats when you swoop in.
