It is a touchy subject, even more so than the down vote issues. There are applications trying to fix/take advantage of curation issues, and some of the front ends could put forth fixes that may draw people to their front end verse another front end.
For now before any drastic changes, I am looking forward to the first two HF's of Hive to see what direction will eventually be taken. The first HF complete separation out of steem and all air drop issue put behind once and for ever. The second one to stop all the hype pro/con about Smart Media Token issue and just finish the issue.
Those two will not really set the direction, it is the third hard fork that will tell us of the direction the creators of the Hive Fork will be taking. Will it be the first fork with a variety of community created tweaks/fixes, or will it continue to be some shadowy group of developers/investors/witnesses that continue to set the direction and control of any and all hard forks.
I am looking forward to next years first Hive anniversary, the answer above should be apparent by then.
