I'm not sure how many of the current admins read HN. I just know some of us old guys hang around here.
And FWIW I agree with you. I've been a 15 year reddit user (and employee!) but if old.reddit goes away, I suspect my usage will go way down. The good news is that the current execs know this, because I have told them.
But at the end of the day they have to do what's best for the business, and I'm afraid those of us who like the old interface aren't large in number.
Edit to add: I don't think they'll kill off the old.reddit interface. I think they'll just stop updating and more and more things won't work there, like i.reddit.com.
