Great timing, mezonexuca. Also, it's nice to see someone who shares my point of view on how grossly mismanaged this (theoretically decent) coin is.
The post timestamps are too close together for this to have been posted in response to your post though (unless they prepared the post and had it on waiting). I think they either pushed the fork before having a formal announcement (which I understand, since it's time critical)
or there's some bureaucratic hangup behind the scenes that we don't know about.
I too wish there were more technical details about the nature of this hard fork. We already know the difficulty algorithm is lwma, but the "emergency difficulty recovery feature" looks like a spontaneous reaction to the recent network issues. It might have been developed specifically for this case.
dificulty can go down without a block
This is definitely relevant for pool owners. Either there's a pool owner update still in the pipe or they straight up forgot to mention this.
