I doubt if this is legit. These are insiders to reddit and they've been known to manipulate their masses with drama. "Popcorn tastes good". Also, though I've stopped reading all the updates from the reddit ceos/admins/mods now, in the last ones I've read, there really was no indication that what they're saying here is what was happening.
By the numbers:
* Pao is leaving the CEO position but still staying in the company
* People are suspicious and unhappy of the above
* For her to be effective, they need her to be liked, or at least tolerated
* People are getting shuffled but, policy-wise, they are going ahead with their changes
* They want to do above as painlessly (for them) as possible
To me, it seems like what they're doing now is muddying the waters, defusing the blame and absolving Pao of blame. The end game is still the same, they just want everyone scrambling around, chasing non-issues
