wen merge?

15 september or so

I have a doubt.

Let's suppose I have an execution layer node running (let's say geth). Does my node will stop working after the Bellatrix upgrade (on the consensus layer)? In other words, Should I have a consensus layer node up and running before the 6th Sept (Bellatrix upgrade) in order to keep my geth node running and syncing?

Not before today, but before TTD is hit (ETA here: bordel.wtf). That said, if you run a CL node, you should have an EL running alongside it as of now.
