It would be a spectacular blunder if they attempted this as rumored (kill the DC to get a DB, in ANY form whatsoever).

Absolute non starter, no deal, No vote by an easy majority, no matter what else was in it. C19 deal killer, big time, and the resulting delays (likely something the company wants, especially if it can be blamed squarely on us) will cost us, all for no gain at the end of that road because it still won't ever happen. If true, this is a ridiculous strategy. But DB's are emotional and the imagined security and predictability is absolutely intoxicating.

As the saying goes: You cannot reason people out of something they were not reasoned into.

As dumb an idea as this is, I could actually see it being floated.
