I find it deeply concerning that we have reached this stage without addressing the core questions raised by the community.
Not long ago, @Stani, you shared a very clear philosophy regarding the $AAVE token alignment proposal:
“Furthermore, while the conversation about brand ownership and an improved DAO structure is essential, this proposal takes us in a direction that is not good for theave ecosystem. It forces a complex legal and operational issue into a simple yes/no, empty payload vote with no clear path forward. A complex issue like this deserves a dedicated, structured process and multiple Temp Checks with a concrete plan to achieve resolution.” (Source: Stani, Post #58*, Topic 23616*)
The irony is hard to ignore. The community has spent the last few days demanding exactly what you advocated for then: a dedicated, structured process and multiple Temp Checks to unpack a multi-million dollar commitment. Instead, we are being pushed into a bundled Snapshot with no clear path to resolve the sensitive concerns voiced here.
As Seneca famously put it: Do as I say, not as I do.
Those who want to see the double standard, will see it.
