WIth the auto upload feature of flickr I can imagine people using flickr as their main photo storage/backup.

And if they happen to not pay attention to announcements like these they might find their photo's irreverably gone in a few months.

Moves like this, so soon after the acquisition, with 0 lenience for existing users makes me not trust Flickr/SmugSmug anymore. What will be the next step when they will randomly delete your photo's?

The $5 is OK but a month to decide is too short. Plus I would rather see what am I paying for before I decide. At the moment Flickr isn't much of use to me.
