View submission: The next phase for Donuts
All of this was known when Donuts were first proposed for governance and is not new information (Edit: the post referenced here from u/vbuterin is from December 2017). Was there something in particular in the execution of this experiment which made you or u/carlslarson change your mind on the suitability of Donuts for governance?
And to confirm, does this declaration from you remove governance authority from Donuts.
It is a yes or no question.

Re-reading the original post, it's clear to me it's removing any binding power that donuts had:
To avoid any unintended consequences, going forward governance polls will be considered as signaling tools, rather than absolutely binding.
"Governance authority" implies binding power, so I'm going out on a limb here and saying, yes, this declaration removes governance authority from donuts.
I imagine signalling will still play a role in governance, so it's not completely removed from governance.

I would really like to hear the response on what results of the donuts experiment caused the change of opinion or what we are trying to avoid to make the governance polls non-binding.
