I do really hope that if TK decides to move last will do it at a leisurely pace, weeks i fnot months later.
Would be nice to enjoy an IST with lesser traffic, even just for a 15/20% less human beings around (not sure how much other legacy, low cost and charter carriers account for).
I'm sure what I will miss is the short taxi time at IST, compared to this mammut where runways seem to be miles from the terminals.
It's interesting to see how TK will handle the free hotel issue, since hardly there will be any hotel around for quite a long time.

OK I guess I don't need to worry this airport will not open in October.
