There is a third option: Redeploying existing talent to the new strategic objectives.
Especially in software, skills are pretty fungible, and most of the support organization's on-going requirements are likely to be highly agnostic of what, specifically, is being engineered.

If they were, the company would already be pursuing them. IT does bring up an interesting alternative. What if instead of layoffs, companies provided an ultimatum: Your employment costs $X. You have 3 months to find a new source of $X+1 revenue that requires your continued labor.
