Currently you can only vest all your escrow tokens at once.
In some circumstance, stakers may only want to vest a smaller amount of tokens at any one particular time.
The change would provide a mechanism (using mulitple select check boxes or similar) that would allow a staker to select either 1 or multiple period ID's from the available list of periodID to vest.
Proving this feature gives stakers greater flexibility in claiming their vested tokens, while potential allowing a larger numbers tokens to remaining within the protocol.
Dev teams have already confirmed this would not a require a SIP or SCCP of Escrow rewards contract and only a frontend change is required.
