A few weeks ago I opened an issue on GitHub for a crowdsourced enhancement proposal: the ability to power down a variable amount, not bigger than 1/13 of the entire available amount.
Turned out there was a similar proposal about a year ago (which I wasn't aware of, obviously), and, which is more important, turned out that this feature is actually in progress, as you can see from the screenshot below.
Thanks to @everittdmickey for pushing me to do this and let's hope this will be included in the next hardfork.
I think it will have a significant impact on the price analysis. As of now, power downs are an important indicator in the technical analysis of the STEEM price, but the amount powered down could actually be way smaller if people will have the option to power down only the desired amount.
I'll keep you posted on this if there will be further developments.
Later edit: minutes after I posted it, the issue was closed as duplicate on Github and @sneak confirmed it will be live in about 2-3 weeks, as you can see from the screenshot below:
