HIP-5: Decrease the minimum delegation

I know this has been voted on already but I’d like to add to the conversation for future reference. Why is there a hard cap limit on a minimum amount to be staked in the first place? If folks are generating .001 ONE in a day, or 100000 ONE in a day should it matter if they want to compound it into their existing compounded stack? As long as they are able to pay the network fee to add to their existing stack, I see no harm in allowing a person to stake any amount they have. It just makes sense to allow folks to save what they can when they can as opposed to forcing a minimum requirement. The network fee is the network fee and that is what should be the driving force behind the use of the network, whether it be for staking, for exchange, or other purposes. Just my two cents on this topic. I hope that in the future there is a vote to remove the minimum completely.
