The separation remains the best for a better and stronger experience! Just like our brother @justinw pointed out in his reply to a question;
Since condenser (the software that powers steemit.com) will soon not have a need to handle high value keys it will be much easier to add new features to the social media side (steemit.com) without as much security review. This means it will also be much easier to merge in desired community contributions.
Thanks @steemitblog for the update. Its a milestone covered!
