Exactly. Also there are many people (including me) who will not consider the longest PoW chain which follows a different consensus rule as the valid Bitcoin version. Beside that for a project like Bitsquare which is a wallet and exchange there are many potential issues and risks (replay attacks). I think BitcoinJ needs a feature to distinguish clearly which chain the user is supporting.
