It was recently announced that BitcoinLatina was moving to Bitshares. In fact, it did an airdrop to Bitshares token holders.
Now, it appears things have changed. Much like Vice decided to fork the Steem blockchain instead of using SMTs, BitcoinLatina is going to be the first EOS based blockchain.
I received an email discussing this which linked to the FAQ page.
The team developing EOS, block.one, is building the EOS software but will not be launching a blockchain. Once development is complete, block.one will make the EOS software available through an open source license and BitcoinLatina will use that software to launch an EOS-based blockchain.
This is very interesting to me. The development team is not launching a blockchain, only the software. I knew that EOS was being designed to be akin to operating software but I did not know there was no blockchain from them.
Also, BitcoinLatina will be using the open source license to lauch the EOS-based blockchain.
When block.one is done developing the EOS software, BitcoinLatina’s team will tweak the software to include coin allocations to BitcoinLatina holders. Once that is complete, the blockchain will launch. The soonest this can possibly happen is after June 1, when the EOS ICO is complete.
It is no secret that the ETA for EOS was in June. BitcoinLatina is confirming this.
To me, it looks like they decided to ditch Bitshares and design their own blockchain UNLESS the blockhcian they are referring to is Bitshares. Numerous times they mentioned an EOS-based blockchain; this is something 
I am sorry this article creates more confusion than answers but it is an interesting turn of events.
