No, it's quite alright to not know. Many people are freaking out and posting about it... like it's a big rug pull or conspiracy against Hive.

It has happened in the past if you have been here long enough to remember. So, there's no need to panic (not that you were)...

I think it might be due to how much money was stolen in the Steem Hardfork that precipitated the Hive hardfork... that Binance probably wants to give it a week or two for the chain to make sure no problems arise that may complicate or freeze transactions for longer periods of time than just for maintenance. But, this is all my personal speculation for the most part. =)
