Wish the homeserver portability would be worked on more. The ability to change homeserver would really allow people to more easily move on from matrix.org.
Myself included ;).
Optimally it would even allow the switch “after the fact”, so after your original homeserver is down, assuming your client has a local copy of the server-side secret storage. It would need to be based on some cryptographic identity then, I suppose.

There’s something that kinda helps with the migration: https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration
Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.
As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.
