SmugMug recently bought Flickr from Yahoo [0]. Their CEO Don MacAskill recently said in an interview with Amateur Photographer magazine that they're looking to remove hurdles such as the tie-in with Yahoo's authentication system but at the same time they're leveraging the need of Flickr's community for a solid desktop experience (for curation) and not necessarily to compete with Instagram as a mobile-centric app, at least in the short term.
Long term plans are obviously still in the works but the overall idea I get is that Flickr's mobile experience going forward will be focused on consumption, while keeping most of the community engagement on the desktop site.
