I mean, these days you have the DAO. So on the positive side, it's not 4 of 7 people anymore. But on the negative side, it's theoretically anyone, depending on how badly they messed up the code, concentration of ownership, and other economic/social factors.

You also have the problems that it's all resolved through a centralized service, in practice. So if Infura gets a court order to NXDOMAIN thepiratebay.eth, that's pretty much good night.

I would love to see a more detailed analysis of "if Infura gets a court order to NXDOMAIN thepiratebay.eth that's pretty much good night".

Also want to read an analysis of how to take down ENS DAO with a flash loan of $ENS. Would need to be a higher level of detail than the parent article

If you look at the DAO voting process, it’s same 4-7 people having majority of voting tokens.

That's because ENS was set up as a delegated voting system. If one of those representatives starts losing their favor with the community, people can switch their delegates to someone else.
