Frankly, I think the whole idea is just a test, and the fact that so many people are ready to +1 it just because the idea (allegedly) came from BCNext is, IMHO, proof of failure.
I have same feelings. But I can't tell that it was failure. Just compare bunch of happy "+1" posts just after original C-f-B message and more or less argumented posts (both sides) after.
If BCNext has some problems of holding the fund until we have voting and multi-signs in place, the most logical way is to just send them back to the genesis. It certainly not the most popular idea

Yes, it is
anarchic, inconsistent, and schizophrenic
but looks much more logical in light of decentralization.
