I did on Friday and within 5 mins they suspended me and reverted them all. I knew they would so I didn’t care - I just did it so they’d see as many unhappy users as possible.

I then deleted my account of over 10 years with over 50k reputation. Fuck stackoverflow.

Same reason for me. Take some of their time and say fuck you to them. But I will do crippling edits by single characters in one month time. I have time.

I’d assume they would provide a backup from before the announcement for the training.
