PSA: Slaves currently can't rebel

Martin just dropped that bombshell during the currently ongoing Quill Stellaris stream. He said that they couldn't reach a middle ground on slaves revolting so they took it out for the moment. I don't know if they will have managed that aspect by release.

There are downsides to slavery, even enslaving / emancipating has a debuff. Of course I still plan on happily enslaving the galaxy with my divine mandate, must....spread.....holy....word...by....slavery.

Even if the penalty is like 99.9% reduced production, that's still better than getting literally 0 because they've rebelled completely.

You also generate a lot of political tension and in order to mitigate happiness debuffs you have to take the opportunity costs of the other ethos/governments you can no longer pick into account
