^ Those are great points, actually, and ones that have been on my mind too. Team S does feel like it's been patch up numerous times because of graduations, but I do think that the the KKS they filled it up with fit in nicely. Team E doesn't have their identifying trait to them, though I think it has largely to do with their lack of original stage yet. I'm pretty sure once they do, we can see what Team E is really all about. I think the one that would be getting the short end of the stick would be Team KII. The one thing that sets them apart from Team S and E is that strong sense of team spirit. Breaking up KII might break that spirit as well.
Actually, SKE's situation right now mirrors AKB's back in 2009, doesn't it? Kinda like how S=A, KII=K and E=B. Admittedly, SKE's caste system is not that prominent as AKB's to begin with, but I think the team dynamics will undeniably change (imo, at least. Team K was just never the same after the shuffle).
Anyway, what interests me more is how they would do about the shuffles. I don't see WMatsui, Churi, Shawako, Kanon, Kinchan, captains Rikachan and Umechan being taken out of their respective teams. But how do they divide the fan favorites of Team S (Akarin, Masana, Yuria, Kumi)? Where do the lolis of Team E go? Just how are they going to break up Team KII?!?
Lol! Sorry if I steered this conversation off-topic.
