Yes when changes like this go into effect and people like me don't even know about them until the day of the hardfork it's pretty bad. Although that's also what we signed up for: a kind of digital republic where money has the vote instead of people. Hive purposefully outsourced these changes and the ability to make them directly to the witnesses. It's an interesting experiment to be sure.
The interesting thing is that our success depends a lot more on third party builders than it does with the core group in charge. I still need to look into all the layer 2 stuff that's been put in place.
