YES! Whatever delay -- IF ANY -- will more than offset the unquantifiable benefit of addressing the major/major ETH gas problem.
EVERY transaction via the ETH blockchain requires a "gas fee", which of late has arbitrarily ranged between $5 to $800, depending on time of day/night and how much traffic is hitting the blockchain at that given instant. Which is clearly an untenable situation. It has to be addressed now, or after the game starts. I'm sure most will agree that now is preferable, even if it means a slight delay to the game.
