Do you remember when the majority hard-forked, changed history, and restored millions of ether to DAO?

Is that not blatantly a majority imposing themselves on the economy through majority dictate?

I don't believe such hard forks will be practical when the ecosystem is larger and more diverse. The DAO happened in a unique point in Ethereum's history, when the community was very small (and thus cohesive) and activity on the network was very little.
