Bitpay will not use BIP 148!

As I am sure of some of you already know both Bitpay and Copay have openly stated they won't be supporting BIP 148 because they have signed Barry's agreement. This is a problem for people who use both Copay and Bitpay as a wallet. We are not only a couple of weeks away from BIP 148 and I am concerned.

I have recently ordered the Bitpay card, and while it should not be an issue sending bitcoin into the wallet for the purposes of spending on the card, it does make the service less trustworthy in my eyes. My card is probably going to arrive in the next 5 days which I'm pretty excited about, but the idea that the Bitcoin I put in there is at risk of disappearing when the two bitcoin blockchains merge is a scary one and means that I won't be putting more than 50-100 dollars in there at any given time. This in turn means that I will have to constantly load the card when it runs low.

I was hoping to get opinions from current card holders and people who were considering it. Has this put you off using your card? Will you be looking elsewhere for a card provider?
