It's been planned for the coin for months. Merged mining implementation was a first step towards securing it and making it ready for sidechains. The potential effect on the price would not be a bad thing, to say the least, based on the statements of the Blockstream devs during their AMA and elsewhere.
Are you even holding a considerable amount of it yourself?
Bottom line: it's not urgent also generally rules of complex systems apply (don't fix what isn't broken)
edit: it will also only help the price if it is desired and welcomed by the ones holding the coins. You're speculating on maybe increased demand while i speculate on maybe increased supply from it. I'm sure the ones releasing SC are good in hyping it up, no doubt about that. But if the current holders of Uno respond to that hype in a positive way is another story.
People who don't provide liquidity shouldn't even talk about changes to the coin in the first place btw. We should make it a rule for the coin that only those showing a buywall at the market should be allowed to suggest any changes imo. Which one is your buyorder? Can you flash it? Or got some latest tradehistory to share?
I own UNO and have been buying it for some time. It's in my wallets (one of which is currently open and running to help support the network), not sitting on an exchange in an attempt to manipulate the price. Not that's any of that is particularly relevant.
Don't know why my simple comment answering someone else's question triggered such an aggressive response from you. I'm not advocating rushing into anything (or indeed advocating anything if you actually read my post) just relaying some information.
My price comment was not speculation on a pump, but in response to Adam Back and Matt Corrallo's comments on how the price of a sidechain coin would be affected by arbitrage. There's a lot of info packed into their AMA, but this link should expand the comments enough for you to search on page for "arbitrage" for the relevant info.

Hey guys. I know some things could have gone better in May. Didn't we have that conversation already? Nevertheless, Uno made huge strides and is well positioned for the future. I won't repeat my long post of a couple of weeks ago, but there is a LOT of good news for Uno that has not yet been priced in. Imo, this is the most undervalued coin on CMC's top 100, and I would not be suprised at all to see that recognition priced in quickly and permanently.
I know BW ticked off some people. If we could go back, there are something things I would work very hard to do differently. But BW did put in a ton of time, at no cost to the community, and he (along with contributions from others in the community) ultimately moved Uno in a direction it needed to go. Uno will reap the benefit of this fork for a long time to come. If it was easy, every sha shitcoin would do it, and eventually they all probably will try. Yes there is more work to do; if you can help, jump in.
I don't value the contributions people are making to Uno merely by the size of their wallets. There are some who hold little, but contribute in important ways. And some holding lots of Un who contribute by hodling. I don't believe anyone here needs to drop their pants to show how big their commitment is.
We're all working to move Uno in a positive direction. We're here because we like Uno. It's open source, open to anyone to come in and make contribution. This is our strength and our weakness (mostly strength).
I think by and large this discusion is a very positive and honest one, especially when compared to other threads on BCT. I'm glad when I see people expressing criticism in constructive ways, because it shows that we respect each other and says that we want to engage in a long term productive relationship with one another. And that's the kind of community I want to be part of.
