First part of Ethereum's sharding is nearly done, is it good news?

SHARDING...

Proposed in Ethereum's roadmap, sharding (distributed data storage technique ) will allow ethereum's network to scale.

"It seems like part one of phase one is getting something like being already done," Vitalik Buterin said in a developer meeting.

Ethereum is under pressure to keep up with the rising popularity of the platform, which has led to slower transaction times and high processing fees. The congestion has already led some token-based projects to build atop other blockchains such as Stellar.

Buterin went to state that the next phase of the four-stage scaling proposal will be completed in "a month and a bit," adding that development work will likely circulate on stateless clients, a type of ethereum software that does not need to process the complete history of the platform.

"Then from there we're going to try and shard it into a working test, a kind of test network,"

Do you guys think sharding will kill decentralization or trustlessness of network? Please share your views in comment.

Moreover he also reflected on Casper, ethereum's new consensus protocol (POS, proof of stake) that is currently in testing.

As we have seen how mobius shifted their development platform from ethereum to Steller Lumans due to scaling issues, what do you guys have to say about it? What are your views on Ethereum vs steller lumans?
