Fixing Taggr community's broken update issue – announcing imminent NNS proposal

There are so many well reasoned arguments on both sides of the issue.

This really highlights the issue of decentralization and how young and concentrated the VP of the IC still is.

It makes sense then why big money interests would NOT choose IC knowing that their app could be not just deleted, but modified at any point, given that such a large portion of voting power is held by the foundation? There’s already platform risk building on the IC, this just adds to the risk.

Even if a canister is blackholed, it is still mutable through the protocol.

What happens if in response to ckBTC and KYT Compliance, Spinnr builds their own no-KYT wBTC and authorities see the weak link and crack down on DFINITY to use the NNS as a trapdoor in the future?

Question for the Taggr team, users, @mechaquan, and X. Would you advocate for this proposal if it happened to another app on the IC? Seers, AstroX, Kinic, Distrikt, or DSCVR? Where do you draw the line, does the app need to be “too big to fail”?
