I have lots of semi-conflicting thoughts on this.
First, it's really a shame that Disney/Feige reacted so quickly in firing Gunn because they likely fed him to DC. This is also probably why Guardians 3 is the end of the line for those characters/why Gunn isn't returning after that; this deal has probably been in the works for a while.
As for the actual decision, I'm conflicted. It's quality leadership but I do worry about conflicting tones from here on out. The Suicide Squad was good but just felt like a Rated-R Marvel movie. I know people have their feelings on past DCEU movies but I hope this isn't going further in the direction of throwing everything out. There's lots of good to proceed with without heavy intervention from the studio.
Either way, it's clear that the things I like the DCEU for, no one else does. So I'm probably not getting what I want out of it anyway. I do see major shakeups continuing to happen over there, and I gotta wonder how long those two will stay on. Feels like it could also be a transitionary hiring before they find someone more permanent.
