Or Justin could just vote the return proposal to the top. SPS is held hostage same as the witness spots...

@sankysanket18 : Waiting to see how the #STEEM community as a whole reacts to this development...

Most likely with a hard-fork, creating 2 chains (let's call them SteemItTron & SteemClassic).

One of them will have the dApps, the community(ies), the best front ends, and hopefully the 4 StInc folks who've resigned so far.

The other one will have Justin Sun and the "steemit.com" URL.
