Yes, I'm also not sure of the exact HP distribution, whether 20% hold 80% of Hive Power.

I have read people's posts here where it was said that if everyone other than that very small group of top HP holders is against a DHF proposal that they could prevail, but I have not checked the numbers. And I think the only way they keep a certain proposal from being funded is to vote for the Return Proposal, but that has side effects of not funding other projects. It is complicated and I have not given it much thought.

Your post shows that it is important to consider these things though. So thanks for bringing it to our attention. :)
