XIV and SVXY: possible liquidation by issuer

For the specifics you would need to keep an eye on the OCC web site to find out about exercise/assignment, and any autoassignment that may or may not occur.

Would suck if a guy sold a put spread, and the options don't trade anymore so maybe no autoassignment as there is no value to the underlying anymore (not zero), but the other guy who holds the long put assigns on him and he loses the full amount versus the hedged amount because he didn't exercise his long put side thinking it was automatic.

Yes, it's probably safer to manually exercise options at expiry rather than rely upon autoexpiry
