imo talking about dash's cons is on topic because it seems to some of us that the very existence of this pre-proposal is desperate maneuvers of dash's failure over many years. First, this reduction from PoW to PoS has already been done in the past with little positive effect.. one might argue it did indeed contribute to dash's failure.
And secondly, such "decision" proposals can and have been abused in the past, where the proposal owner, or the ones actually doing the work, decide the rules for passing, which has changed over the years. I should point out that the proposal owner stated at the top, "Pros: less PoW (less energy consumption), more PoS, more budget.", so the actual goal of this pre-proposal is an attempt to repeat history and further fill the pockets of the budget, yet again.
And so, when people talk about dash's failure, not just those here but Sam himself talking about funds running dry, alongside threats of letting employees go, then yes, I'd say it's understandable that overall dissatisfaction with governance is included in such discussions. Or should we remain on topic and omit what is, essentially, the core of such pre-proposals?
