The context discusses the issue of lightning nodes maintaining consensus during or after a fork of the underlying blockchains. The channel_announcement messages use a chain_hash to identify the currency in use, which raises questions about how existing channels handle intentional forks that arise after funding of a payment channel and how unintentional forks are handled, as documented in BIP 50.
