*Sigh*. Again, for people who classify the changes as
editorial, yes, there were no changes; we are just taking our own
sweet time to confirm to the SC.
Not everyone interpreted the SC like this set of people, and
thus there were differing policies in place. With the clarification
of what, to me, was an editorial change, we are all now on the same
page.
Or, looking at your post, maybe not.
