Mech: you can be sure others will step up to offer pack refurb/repair alternatives to the defunct H-B-R. The discussion has already begun on Insightcentral. Other pack repair/replacement options will be offered.

Considering that an Insight can be driven indefinitely without a working pack and still return phenomenal fuel economy, and a problematic out-of-balance pack can be kept "running" using the grid charger periodically to rebalance it, this shouldn't dissuade anyone from picking up a used one.

I do feel for customers caught in the middle of things with H-B-R at the moment though.
