dude, I'm not telling you to not set up the desired system (I'm cool with
it), I'm just suggesting that we could set up various possibilities so
people can choose the one their want (freedom of choice and more ways of
participation)

And as I said, it's only my opinion, I'm not telling anyone what to do, but
I thought all ideas would be welcome
