    I hope this doesn’t mean they will be opening up the email addresses for use after they delete/clear them

      I think that would be a security nightmare, so they probably won’t (and they’ll probably be forced to not do it if they try)

      When deleting a Google account, they warn you about your username won’t be reclaimable. So I assume this will be the same.
