Would this be a bad thing at this stage of the game considering while any want mass adoption now, are we actually ready for it?
I think that if the idea of the EIP is focus on good content but to sacrifice mass adoption efforts / comments and engagement / the idea of Steem as a social network then that should be made very clear in the proposal. That would be a pretty big pivot.
In my view it's a bad move.
I don't think that is the idea, by the way, I think that solutions have been sought to a particular set of problems but without fully considering the other problems that could arise.
