you're definitely right! the key here is the tag itself. Whatever front end works for you, there's no requirement to use any particular one to begin taking part in curating with your PAL stake. You might even choose to stake your PAL, and then not pay attention to it at all! If you just go about your regular steem day and your favorite interface, and you will likely start distributing and earning curation whether you know it or not! All things being equal, all we want to see is this being a potential that gets people more excited about engaging and curating again, or that perhaps will change some ingrained habits for the better. What each account's PAL journey looks like is really dependent on your social goals, and if that means selling them to someone who wants them, that's cool too~
