I know you're not meaning to be talking about Evan Duffield, but yes, I do think that's the plan. This project, Dash, still very much has a leader, thus a "Benevolent Dictator" but I'm quite sure from what he has said, he doesn't want that position for life, LOL. So how do you fill an entrepreneur's shoes? You make the people compete. Why would they compete? Because they're gonna get paid! So eventually, Evan should be able to step away knowing his project will survive
And with masternode voting + community input, direction should be a clear indication of which direction to go.
Even better, Evan could one day compete for funds for a new project, just like everyone else, and start something new. He doesn't have to maintain the main program the rest of his life, but go off on his own once again, yet still be benefiting his baby, Dash. As long as we can keep his interest, we can keep Evan! You know I'm all for that! LOL
So yes, I think so
Nice answer, Tante, you have a great grammatical prose way of summing up what I was trying to say.
I like how you left out the 'for life' part, so we can tick this off as another hard problem solved.
Hard problems solved alreadyHow to instantly confirm a transaction in an otherwise slow blockchain while still part of the client and remaining decentralized : solved
How to provide lasting incentive to full nodes to seed quickly, reliably and guard network integrity : solved
How to resolve the 'benevolent dictator for life' in software development while maintaining decentralized leadership : solved
Each command worked. The core wallet launched. It says I have zero dash.... but also says that it is 1 year and 16 weeks behind. So thankful for the help. Going to see where I end up after the sync. 
Couldn't do it without you folks. Can't thank you enough.
