I have been following this as I decide what to do.

The fix has not been implemented yet, it is slated for the next upgrade in a bit less than 2 weeks. Also, it is only a partial fix. Most people who have been complaining/requesting a rollback have been concerned with all of their posts and wanting a journal-wide opt-in or opt-out.

One could just set their LJ posts to friends-only, but to be forced into it is annoying.
