Maybe. But remember that Steem is registered trademark, so "Steem Classic" can be "Meths" :P
In my opinion, the problem is that STINC has a huge impact on the network. Firstly - in 90% of cases people use "Steemit", secondly - it employs developers, thirdly - it has so many tokens that it can destroy Steem.
For those who will be taking "Steem.DAO" - Good luck. You'll need it.
