#cardano needs pool ranking mechanism - but just NOT the one we all think it really needs.
$ada #stakepools need ranking based on what I refer to as:
"d-index,"
which ranks pools based primarily on how much they contribute to the decentralised nature of the network.

Since we all know that all k pools will even out over the long-run in terms of stake returns - we need to look beyond this arbitrary incentive program to ensure desired variety.
Network doesn't really need 10 operators running 100 pools each to saturate k number of pools.

It is rather safe to assume that we are better off with more operators running less pools each instead (following the logic - 1000:1).
The assumption is that these operators are competent because they are able to produce desirable rewards to delegators in the first place.

I am open to suggestions to say what and how such "d-index" could be calculated most accurately without creating massive barrier to entry either.
This could be with regards to # of pools operated, total # of unique delegators, or to the amount of pledge delegated.
