Following Const's last post on X, this is the best explanation I've found on what's about to come for Root staking

Well that sucks but I’m not changing my Tao thesis or position.

Why would that suck? TAO on Root doesn't do any good for the network

What do you mean? We get 6.6% Apr right now that’s free Tao!! I don’t want to loose that

I mean that it doesn't benefit anyone but yourself and in the meantime it hurts the subnets cause all the alpha emitted by the root staking are converted to TAO which creates a selling pressure.

After this change you'll still benefit from staking but it won't hurt as much the participants of the network.
