Hmph. Hit the wrong button. I was going to say that ther are more links in the comments to that post.

Whether it is actually more than a rumour is of course a different matter. For myself I'm not too bothered, I don't think I have any posts which I need archived (I often compose offline and then post the result, so I have the originals). I really don't see a good alternative though which has the same functionality, especially the custom friends-lists to adjust privacy settings easily (IJ might, since it is based on the same original code). Mostly it depends where people go, if they go, I have no interest in setting up lots of accounts just to read a few people on each.
