Description
Given that there are precautions to remove a staged upgrade, and only the owner or DAO can stage an upgrade, removing the owner's requirement of deploying the upgrade is safe.
Additional Information
We started running into a potential issue where it may be too costly for the DAO to deploy future Engine releases. While there is currently no issue to stage a release, a deployment may, in fact be a bit too costly. The DAO almost hit this limit previously as 280 Tgas was the gas required via the DAO. Additionally, this reduces the DAO votes by 1 as now they only have to vote on an upgrade which needs to be staged.
This should be done as a patch release on the master branch prior to any further deployments.
