I really don't get how anybody still thinks this is all going to be undone.
Hickman just revealed their intentions to release a Moira series about putting all these retcons in place around the continuity we are familiar with. Why would they go through all that trouble just to undo it?
Nothing.
If the timeline is reset to Miora's 11th Life then...Krakoa may not exist (as Xavier/Magneto might not have formed Krakoa) and as such the rest of the MU would not be aware either way. Only Moira remembers her past lives...the rest of MU (X-Men/Mutant included) remains blissfully oblivious.

But can we trust Jonathan Hickman, who demonstrated for 7 years that he was a continuity nut even when making massive retcons?
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
None of Hickman's retcons need to be undone to move the X-Men back to a traditional status quo. I think the X-Men will, of course, eventually return to something more classic. But they don't need to remove Hickman's stuff form canon to do that, and it seems absurd to believe they will.
Yea, stories come and go. Hickman won't be the last great X-Men writer and that's a good thing. He along with the writers that come after him should be given the space to tell their stories without being strictly held to what came before. If a future writer wants to use Krakoa (depending on how this run goes), I'm down. If they want to downsize and start up something new, that's cool too (provided the transition is done well). I hope that the open-mindedness fans have towards Hickman's run is also given to future writers for the franchise.
That being said, even if Krakoa doesn't remain a UN recognized state by the end of this run I could see it displacing the mansion as a base of operations for the X-Men.
The second someone needs a jobber of the week, they'll bring back Crud (aka Creed lol).
When they don't want too many minorities, they'll kill off Synch & Skin again, and revert Bishop to a child murderer.. lol
Relationships will go back to being closed, etc.
Villains will revert to evil and reek havoc.
There's a good bit that can be undone and / or ignored. I can't wait for that last one. All these villains being perfect angels is eye-roll worthy. Omega Red, Sinister, Mystique, Emplate, and Selene need to be causing so trouble and soon.

Even if they do return to a pre-HoX status quo...The only major retcon he gave us was Moira is a Mutant.
Everything else were minor tweaks/explanations to occurrences that already existed in the 616 XM history to "make sense of " and add "dimension to" this, her 10th Life.

Those people are going to be very disappointed in the mutant era of the MCU!
