Restrict delegations on root and treasurer tracks
1EpEi...2KfLK
I propose not to allow any delegations on the following tracks which should be considered of vital importance: Root track (could completely change the protocol) Wish for change track (could produce deep changes in the protocol) Treasurer track (unlimited spending without any cap, potentially burning the full treasury if the beneficiary address is a burn address) The idea behind delegation is good, it's the concept that for specific actions you do not want to vote yourself but you rather trust a third party. However for things of extreme importance it is risky to trust a third party because of the well-known agent problem Just like in your daily life you can issue a POA for a commercial contract but not for extremely important events like for example marriage / divorce / etc Certain events are so critical that it is important to know that there is no risk that the agent might have a different opinion than the owner This is not specifically targeted at DV (even if of course their role has to be considered) but it's more about the idea that for certain tracks it is perfectly reasonable to do delegations and for others it's not in order to protect the integrity of the system

I disagree with this. If you don't want to delegate your voting power on certain tracks, there is already a simple solution: don't delegate voting power on those tracks. The point about not trusting certain decisions to be delegated to others does not apply if you have multiple accounts. If you have accounts X, Y, and Z, the easiest way to vote the same way with all of them (assuming you want to do this) is to delegate X and Y to Z. This would remove power from individual users for no good reason, and make Polkadot more difficult to use for user with multiple accounts.
