near term issuance update: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/electra-issuance-curve-adjustment-proposal/18825

Interested in reactions of folks here to the issuance changes discussed by @caspar + @ansgar.eth. Would a reduction in yield make staking unviable for you? I'm sympathetic to the argument that allowing the staking fraction to trend ever upwards will eventually cause big problems.

Depends how big a reduction. Two issues for me:
- whether it's worth it to bother
- if I do bother but the MEV is really high compared to the protocol revenue, whether to carry on staking on my home line in Japan rather than putting it somewhere with better latency to the rest of the network (like a US datacenter)

Maybe I understand this wrong but IIUC the idea of the protocol MEV capture proposals is to work out how much MEV stakers are expected to be able to capture, then make us pay for it. This doesn't fix the penalty for stakers with higher latency, it makes it worse,  because we have to pay for it but can't extract it.

some inprotocol mechanism to capture MEV is probably a prerequisite for targeting. 

And lots of open questions… 
What should the staking ratio target be? 
use a curve that turns negative or stop at zero eventually? or some eip-1559-like controller? How to maintain consensus incentives, staking fee?
