I am very pleased to see this step being taken @leofinance! As a mere dolphin on the Hive blockchain (meaning my opinion counts for very little ...), I have "engaged" on this issue over the EIP changes of HF 21 / 22 over and over again. For the reasons you cite, it is a "no brainer" on the negative impact it has had on curation ...

And ... Yet ... 🤔 On and on it goes ... 🤷‍♂️ Any intellectually honest person can ask themselves why it was ever put into place to begin with (yes, I read the original arguments and disagreed with them ...) and, more importantly, why they are still in place, once the obvious came to light, as you have described here in this post.

It will be interesting to me to see what effect this has on our Hive blockchain. In particular, whether or not you get any uhhh ... "push back" on taking this step.

I hope this news "get out" quickly and, as a result, we begin to see a return to taking the time to compose good replies / comments. If time is invested in them, they can add considerable value to the original post. Choosing to vote them will no longer be penalized, as least as far as the curator's LEO rewards ...

Great decision. Keep up the good work! 🦁👍
