Yes, it does make a bit hard to follow. However, if Colin’s intention is to create a new proposal to remove the rewards but wants some more discussion around it first, I think it is ok to create this discussion post for more input from the community.
This post would have been relevant to make in the RFC while it still was active but CP40 has already moved on to an off-chain vote and submitted to GitHub and cannot be changed anymore so maybe better to start a new discussion from here.
