No, it was patched only. Democracy is a system that can't effectively scale beyond big room or small town square (in particular, the voting event is a "synchronization barrier" that restricts the scalability). As a result with increased number of participants we are forced to keep oligarchical structure with small cardinality set of equals (among themselves only) peers - city council, Congress, etc... - on top of the managed society. The development of human society calls for a system where everybody is a peer equal to everybody else. While it is early to say, it is possible that network technologies pave the way for such new forms [or may be some completely different, hard to imagine] of society organization
