I'm not sure I see the relation. Bitshares is based on it's own form of PoS. I'm talking about the economic difficulties of converting from PoW ->PoS when the network is maintained by miners with infrastructure costs sunk into PoW.

You are right. But I think the POS roadmap is set from the very beginning.

It's set only in words and ideals of central authorities. There is the planned obsolescence with the "Ice Age" difficulty scheme, but that has been delayed before.

All of this is subject to challenge from the miners providing the economic security and hash.
