As an ex-Yahoo I think it very unlikely that anything would happen to Flickr. Flickr is still one of the very-largest social networks:

(It's not #2; Zeta's methodology is very odd. But in volume it's still top 5)

It's also Yahoo's only successful play in the social space to date (unless you count delicious). They would never axe it.

I also don't know who told you they were a skeleton crew; they were hiring until quite recently.
