Dave,

From the article:

"We are simply adding an emergency box with a key inside. Only certain designated, trusted authorities can open the 
emergency box and retrieve the key to make changes. For all other participants, the blockchain will remain as immutable 
as before, with the same consensus mechanism. A bad actor won't be able to make changes, because access to the 
emergency box is restricted. “

Sounds like a back door to me :-(

Bob
