I do think I remember @blocktrades recently saying he wants to implement flat curation. It was in a comment, or even post, after HF24. But it wasn't a very explicit statement.

The reality, one which is not highlighted often enough, is that with the EIP, we have tailored a system to please stakeholders always more:

• we went from 75/25 to 50/50
• the window's reverse penalty went from author bonus to returned to the pool
• the window was shortened where it should have been lengthened when switching to 50/50 so smaller stakeholders could frontrun again

Later the reward pool was reduced as well.

All these elements have damaged what was otherwise a well-meant and thoughtful economic update to fight abuse.

All in all, leaving aside the STEEM to HIVE power ups, little has resulted in additional large stake since the EIP. If it led to many more new stakeholders, I haven't gotten the memo. I'm not talking one or two who bought a million, I'm talking a number which actually registers on the radar.
