A typical path for an organization that wants to use an SMT, but can't wait for the fork that includes them, is to release their token on another network (ERC20 style) with a bare minimum of capability, and then to move everything over to an SMT once it's available, including a credit and account mapping for current ERC20 holders. The ERC20 token may just be shut down or allowed to melt away.
