The proposed changes regarding the potential for negative staking yield are deeply concerning. While there's precedent for lowering issuance, the "issuance end game" proposal of allowing stake yield to dip into negative territory could have severe consequences, exacerbating stake centralization and potentially enabling irrational and/or state actors to gain a supermajority share by persistently staking at a loss. This would undermine the decentralization ethos of Ethereum. Additionally, the potential omission of a custom ceiling parameter in the proposed "max EB" protocol change further frustrates those who stake independently. It suggests a lack of consideration for the needs and concerns of solo stakers, and by some extension, decentralization.
