    Yeah, that’s where most of the discussion currently is. But I thought this was such major news that it deserves its own post.

        Yeah, it kind of is. But I thought it’s a major update and many people don’t click on posts (or even refresh them later) but just see the titles and headlines and I thought it makes sense to still reach them with this update. But I agree that this is a grey area; I could have also made it a comment.
