There are definitely scabs willing to do it but the issue with that is the userbases are supportive of this action. If a scab team reopens a subreddit they will then face a user rebellion and I have not seen a single subreddit defeat a proper user rebellion outside of communist teams who just ruthlessly crack down and ban or shadowban all problem-causers.
Not entirely convinced that this is going to succeed though, I think reddit want these changes and will stubbornly accept whatever the repercussions are until it's pushed through. If that means some subs die or some teams blow up or the lasting consequences of permanent moderator relations being destroyed then so be it. It's all in service of the IPO.

The problem is the user base have to care about this, and from looking at the recent subs that goes on again, highly doubt it will work
I doubt Reddit will back down, but this will seriously damage the site and that's what I want.
