Hi Ned.
Since there are a couple of people asking for a quick release of SMTs, I've got a couple of questions in that context:

Were'nt SMTs supposed to be a business plan for Steemit, Inc? In case Steemit, Inc withdrew from operating on the chain, would SMTs be able to work "autonomously"? Is creating a new SMT like hardforking a chain? Is one SMT completely seperated from all others? How much blockchain development knowledge is required to create an SMT? If Steemit, Inc offered us with the code, would we be able to do everything on our own then? 

I just wonder how independent we could effectively be with/without your company, even after launching SMTs.
How many people who're not working at Steemit, Inc have already a deep knowledge of SMTs/SMT development?
