In the vaguest, most sugarcoated way possible, yup it was addressed lol. Actually, I spoke to abit. And he said he was hoping that the steemit team would find someone they could task with connecting with the platform users on such things. But he did not seem to know anything more than what we've already heard. Incidentally he's the only witness that bothered to even answer my question out of the several that I posed it to. Also, on a side note, your comment did not show up in my replies. I only saw it because I clicked on your post to see if anyone had posted any updates. So another glitch, yay, haha!

EDIT: It's there now, might just be taking more time to show up, I've actually noticed this with two comments now.
Abit is fast becoming my favorite witness. Actually I've always liked him, he was always a large supporter of comment rewards . There were even times when I made more from his votes on my comments then I did on my post in a day.
