One spin off of this whole STEEM/HIVE fork that looks promising to me is OpenOrchard Project which will likely interface, if not use, much of the open source code of the STEEM/HIVE Project(s). A fair distribution of tokens with no pre-mined (Ninja) tokens is being promised. In my opinion both STEEM and HIVE are demonstrations of the failures in DPoS Governance at present.

P.S.

Do I interprete that correctly? From the Guppy to a Whale?

Yes.
