I don't think that this is the truth because everytime new new rumours cames in the market of the cryptocurrency and also people easily get believed .
Last time I remembered correctly that few people made bad prediction about the bitcoin Because of the ban of ICOs exchange in China , I don't know how they connected the bitcoin price with the ICOs exchange ban Because most of the ICOs using Etherium coin tockens only . But still the rumours of the making bitcoin down more and more works well by some people and that results into dump in the price of the bitcoin and many people made profit by making buy bitcoin .
So now here we can understand well that it can be a planning Because not we got anything official announcement for no support for the bitcoin cash.
Here the bitcoin blockchain team has really a big technology factor power , so ofcourse they will handle it easily like another people for small coins are handling easily.
