Erm, not to my knowledge, and I doubt to theirs, since they're selling permanent accounts right now.(or perhaps just finished; I have one so I don't keep track any more.)

The best analysis I've seen is that it won't happen right away - perhaps not at all, but the main issue is that the layoffs a) were not announced to us via LJ first and b) are mostly the engineering people in SF. That doesn't mean there aren't people to fix things going wrong, just that they're no longer where LJ first started. Apparently SUP's plan for LJ is to run things out of Moscow.

That said, a back-up, as usual, is the sensible thing. And keep an eye for where your contacts go (aka "Lifeboat projects").

twistedchick, either here or at Insane Journal, has been following the story with easy-to-survey links that should help evaluate the situation.
