This is a great proposal! I really appreciate all consideration that went in to the proposal along with the great points made in the discussion.

I think you could build on @dobby’s astute point of a 1.5% cap to a single validator and have a cap for “governed stake” as a control mechanism that could be adjusted to make sure that there’s more opportunity for **new and small validators to become profitable**
