It is not about the man.

It is about the fact that any position of power available will attract the wrong person at some point to abuse it.

It doesn't matter if it is the capability to print money, the capability to change the basic functioning of bitcoin or any other position with power.

If such a position exists it will be taken by the wrong person ar some point.

Freeze the release.

The maintenance of bitcoin simply yields too much power not to attract the wrong people sooner or later.
