I stepped down as a witness due to concerns over the ongoing time commitment as well as anticipated increase in witness demands connected to this fork and the recent sale of Steemit more broadly.
However, as a stakeholder, I support the actions taken, I am voting for witnesses running the modified code. I believe that firm action to address Steemit's lack of transparency and candor, repeated empty and broken promises, mismanagement, and exploitation of the community should have been taken long ago, though, unfortunately, consensus to do so could never be reached for a variety of reasons. Better late then never, I guess.
Is there an easy way to see who has upgraded and who hasn't so people might adjust their witness votes?
Thanks
0.22.2 is the updated version. Look on https://steemd.com/witnesses
Thanks
Time to reshuffle my votes

Well said, @smooth!
Doesn't this look like a form of the Top witnesses just entrenching themselves in the top witness spots?
Not to me, unless you think that the way to get them out would be with the ninja-mined stake voting. I don't believe that.
No other votes are affected. The top witnesses can be voted out just as easily today as they could two days ago. In fact I would venture to say there has been more movement in and out of the top 20 in the wake of this fork than most times before, but I'm not basing that on real data, just an impression.
