I think V2 and Dan's plans for dapp layer governance are really quite consistent with this manifesto. But I got a bit speculative - just exploring. Wrt the Eos foundation/alliance I admittedly am sceptical too but since Thomas was asking for perspectives I thought I might as well try to put some thoughts down. As a challenge. Thanks for the resteem Hive account@conceptskip! Btw I've been enjoying your posts. Your restaurant reviews are a great addition to your Eos articles!
