- What are these safer forms of centralization than the ref → bounty hybrid I proposed?
In general you seem to point out centralization as some kind of pure evil - not sure why you think this is the case. This kind of logic can easily pointed out as false.
For example, if the chain halted and we needed to quickly perform some kind of upgrade that required a referendum - not moving as fast as possible with that would cause irrepairable damage. Suddenly the slowness of decentralization turns “evil”.
Be careful when thinking in absolutes. The overall thesis of decentralization is deep in all our hearts, but when we want to think about achieving things, we need to be ready to move on the scale of decentralization and centralization in an agile way where the net benefit to us is greatest.
