Schwartz Addresses XRPL Voting Mechanism Concerns

On X (formerly Twitter), Schwartz said XRPL’s voting mechanism, designed for coordinating features, isn’t ideal for governance. It can govern, Schwartz said, “but not particularly well.” Only active validators participate in voting, and sometimes, validators can be inactive. This can cause instability when decisions are close.

To fix this, Schwartz suggested requiring validators to actively choose to vote on reserve increases. He also wants a default neutral position for reserve preferences. This would make the process more predictable and avoid unintended outcomes.
