I mean, Hickman is still going to be doing the flagship X-Book, it's just changed.
A part of me hopes it's just called New X-Men or so, but they continue the old numbering system just to mess with People.
However, I could see this as being where his run truly comes to life. So far, we've just had Hickman leaving bread crumbs while the other writers have been allowed to go crazy. But I believe this is where Hickman will now begin to payoff things that happened way back in HOXPOX.
It feels a bit weird that Hickman won't be writing two X books, but alas, he also probably has a hand in every X title running at the moment.
It'll be a shame if I wasn't interested in Leah's book, I kind of feel bad as I've enjoyed her work on Amazing Mary-Jane, but X-factor just didn't interest me that much. At the same time, I already get so many X books. A part of me is wishing that X-Corp is just a 5 issue mini.
But anyway, I look forward to the next batch of books.
I would love to have two Hickman comics but we don't really know how much time it takes him to be Head of X and oversee everything.
I've long suspected Hickman is writing something X-related other than comics. His output is fairly limited nowadays with only one monthly book and a mini at Image that's about to conclude. I appreciate his role as "Head of X" involves some sort of coordination but I doubt he's reading everyone's scripts as that would be the editors' job.

Predictions:
Duggan/Larraz’s X-Men is Jean’s team of X-Men. Hickman’s book will be Scott’s.
Williams/Schiti’s book is seemingly called The Trial, but the trial of who? Scarlet Witch? Maybe someone does something at the Gala? Either way, I think this is a mini if it is called The Trial (because how would you make a trial an ongoing series lol).
Since Schiti is off of SWORD, Paco Medina will be taking over. Him and Ewing are tight and haven’t worked together since No Road Home.
Yeah, there was a time when he was writing two Avengers, the Infinity crossover (and later Secret Wars), plus East of West and Manhattan Projects. Now it's just X-men and Decorum, which doesn't come out every month. While I'm sure he's trying to keep a lighter schedule than before, it seems odd if he's not working on anything else.
