I assume that you are speaking from a deeper knowledge that just the announcements? Sorry, but I will believe this when the communities will be deployed to production and working as promised.
There are teams that are producing much more and in a shorter time and have a much better track record.
My personal opinion is that Steemit dev team's energy would be better spent on maintaining the basic layer code and leaving the upper stores to others.
That's essentially what they're doing... they are working on is the basic layer code for how hivemind enables communities then the interfaces will build most of the actual user support for communities.
Then this is a win-win situation. When done correctly.
OK, let's wait and see and hope for the best.
Thanks for your answers!
