ENSv2 Activation Queued, Ending New ENSv1 Registrations

The significance here is less about the upgrade itself than about how ENS is handling the transition: an open-ended, irreversible migration with no deadline shifts the burden onto name holders to act, and the exclusion of some names from automatic reservations introduces a category of holders whose continuity depends on manual steps rather than default carry-over. That distinction matters most for long-tail registrants and anyone holding names with unusual configurations. With no activation date disclosed, the timing question remains open, and whether the no-deadline approach produces a slow, orderly migration or a lingering split between v1 and v2 activity is worth watching.
