I think it is absolutely critical for the Tron group to understand that the existing 13 week system provides them with a safe secure way of moving funds to exchanges.

The community has been discussing a shorter power down period to be more attractive to investors and those discussions should continue. Once consensus is reached a properly tested hardfork can be deployed to implement the community decision.

Right now to properly deploy a hardfork for a shorter power down would take a few weeks and the exchanges (or anyone else) could be well on the way to moving their funds to the exchanges.

But they need to start the power down for that to happen.

Starting the power down now will not impact them if a decision is made to deploy a hardfork and allow them to power down faster. It would be just a matter of stopping the existing power down and restarting with the new.

In the meantime they would be moving funds now. Safely and securely.
