Sure is. This was one of the outcomes I was worried about. The ideal situation would be acquiring Steemit Inc, maintaining status quo with the current Steem chain, and gradually over time building bridges to Tron, and perhaps in a future integrating it as a shard of Tron or whatever. This seems too disruptive to me.

Agreed, the method you describe makes much more sense by slowly creating some sort of chain interoperability bridge instead of attempting to migrate to a new chain. Knowing Steem's HF history there seems to be ample opportunity for an epic clusterfuck.
Token swap? Is that even necessary?
You bring up important points about the witnesses... I guess we'll see over the next few days.

I wonder how much of a factor the Voice launch played in this decision.

The timing is absolutely no coincidence. It's obvious they rushed this through without much due diligence. I'm still hopeful they'll clarify some things tomorrow, but the plan as it currently stands needs some serious rethinking.
