Yes correct my opinion is my opinion, and yours is yours. ;-)
There was a change implemented in the latest hard fork precisely to allow @steemit to formally decline its voting power: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/324
See also release notes for version 0.14.2 (emphasis mine):
An account can chose to decline their voting rights after a 30 day delay. This includes voting on content and witnesses. The voting rights cannot be acquired again once they have been declined. This is only to formalize a smart contract between certain accounts and the community that currently only exists as a social contract.
