Really worried about this new trend in extra-mempool dealing by miners. Had a few arguments with people about it. I think we could be seeing the emergence of some perverse incentives that could be problematic. But I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Would it practically change anything if these entities are forced to bid transparently on the fee level?
It would change things for the rest of us, being able to reliably predict when your transaction will be confirmed would probably help.
Is there any way todecentralizee mining? Antminer u1 or u2 thumb drive s times a few hundred thousand?
