The federation will be deactivated

If you look at rsk.co faqs

It states this:

However when Core( i think they will Blockstream is supporting side chains)adds special opcodes or extensibility to validate SPV proofs as a hard-fork, or to manage a drivechain, the Federation role as STTPs in the 2-Way peg will no longer be necessary. Until that happens, we expect the Federation and the sidechain validation to coexist.

And the for the checkpoints
By default, clients stop using federated checkpoints when if RSK hashing power is over 66% of the maximum BTC hashing difficulty observed in the best chain and the fees paid in a block are higher or equal to the average reward of a Bitcoin block. However, any user can re-configure this local policy.

So pretty much for rsk to be decentralized it must have 70% of bitcoin hashpower(luckily 90% has agreed to merge mine it so that part is out of the way) and core adding the protocol for sidechains then the federation will be deactivated
