I feel cautiously optimistic about the new developments; JS has repeatedly shown that he is not to be trusted. But then, that seems to be part of a longer history of dealings he has had in the past, as well.
I just hope the fact that this is a bit of a "hurry up" move won't present itself as a nest of issues down the road.
Still, the idea of a fresh start is very appealing, particularly given that we can port our years of "sweat equity" to the new chain.
