No idea, except to say that the devs wouldn't willingly ship something
that's untested or under-tested.

Yes, but it wasn't announced publicly. It was a more visible change
than the addition of wpasupplicant-udeb to d-i and was widely
discussed on this list pre-release because so many of us run "testing"
and "unstable" (and Ubuntu). I've just checked "grub2
site:lists.debian.org/debian-project" too; nada. And grub2 was a big,
cross-distribution change so it wasn't Debian-specific,
Debian-installer specific and therefore was widely
discussed/attacked/praised...
