Flickr being acquired by SmugMug

Flickr isn't really about showing images to clients though is it, it's a repository; if the merger means you can seamlessly add images from your Flickr to your Smugmug portfolio that would be good. I hope they don't have plans to charge users or turn Flickr into something more complicated than it needs to be.
I do find it annoying that Flickr is one of those sites that nags me to change browser because the one I've been using for ages is suddenly incompatible (hint to Flickr: it worked before, so redirect me to the "old" version of the site and I'll live without whatever new features you've added that don't work on IE*), and their "funny" notes while waiting for the uploader to load grate a little.
But I'm generally only uploading stuff to share on forums, some of those forums can't have images uploaded directly, so I don't know about portfolios, other people looking at the images, and so on.
(* I know, probably just don't want to support the older site code).

Associated with AOL weren't they the original data harvesters who used to collect pages of info on their clients?

How is Flickr working since they've been acquired? Is it still as good as it was or they have already begun to make some changes?
None that I am aware of and I use it several times a week.
I've been thinking about cloud backup of my photos for some time and this looks like it may well be the best option.
