just two I could think of off the top of my head
with housing, they could create new wards to compensate but I doubt SE would be wanting to do that or how easy of a process that is, all things considered
I think you might be misunderstanding. The two points you made are not impacted by merging, because the server just becomes a part of the DC. For example, Maduin and Seraph might go to Aether, Hali and Cuch go to Crystal, etc.
