More uncertainty has been introduced since @blocktrades post yesterday (03.16.2020) making it a high priority that the Hive group does the fork quickly or at the very least provides more details as to operations and a timetable for the fork and the initial dapps that are making the move.
While I believe that the fork is inevitable you cannot let this linger. You must do a clean brake quickly and be up and running with the necessary basic operations almost immediately.
It also needs to be very clear if the steem-engine side chain is alsopart of the new hive group and which if not all SE based tokens are being ported over, if pegged steem is being moved or left with Steemit, etc.
As much uncertainty as possible needs to be removed by the new Hive group today.
