I don't think Steve is stupid enough to make the new design compulsory. He has mentioned hundreds of times how the redesign killed Digg. Old users would keep using Reddit by visiting old.reddit.com (or by opting out of redesign). They are not going anywhere.

I haven't seen an official statement for this yet. If he's planning to do that, great! Until then.. I'm thinking we're probably all migrating to a facebook-like experience soon.

Here is a statement made by our VP of Product.
Tldr: "old.reddit.com is not going away"

Most users of reddit do not have accounts. Those users have already been using the redesign for some time.
The new design will drive the users who liked that away. They will either eventually scatter away to hundreds of different places, or one or two new companies will take Reddit's current place.
