More testing would have been nice but overall it's pretty decent.

The changes will probably help steem grow if leveraged right and the only thing I miss about the messy week is increased author rewards :^)

I like the idea of claimed accounts and applications with large steem pools can speed up the onboarding if new users.

I like the the RC system but it could be a bit more lenient to people with less than 50sp to not block them from interacting and I don't know if RC delegating to individuals will be enough to help all newbies transact before deciding to invest or earning their stake though participation.
