Thank you for you work on this proposal, @howard
I think it’s very healthy that we are stepping back, looking at the state of play with curation and accepting that there are significant improvement to be made and negative behaviors that need to be mitigated (rug pulling) before we move on to tackling the challenges of building a successful end to end curation system. There are tradeoffs, complexities but the foundation needs to be solid before we move on to more complex upgrades, so I am generally in support of this proposal.
A question/query I had regarding the allocation closure front-running that was brought up by a participant on the research call - if Indexers shorten their allocation lifecycle, which they will given that shorter allocations means a more agile indexer business, does that have an impact, positive or negative, on the potential allocation closure front running behavior?
Additionally, given the exceptionally small size of the curation pool of GRT today (compared to the pool on the delegation side), do we have any concerns that someone with a very large amount of liquid GRT could play this front-running game out to an extreme end, essentially breaking the role for all other curators and taking nearly all of the curators fee cut?
