Timothy,

You are assuming that the masses are interested enough to mutiny. The meek truly shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will have left...isn't that the nature of frontiers?

Indeed you'd open frontiers, but the difference with previous frontiers is
that this one is sponsored and thus regulated before it starts.

BTW.  Writing this, I started wondering what would happen if people start
      a mutiny.
