I really appreciate the openness and honesty. One thing I saw from watching the community discussion of MSM during the event was that there was an assumption by everyone -- folks enjoying it and folks who hated it -- that it was a one-off. That definitely contributed to some of the reactions yesterday and since, and I think if there'd been a way to not surprise folks (especially on a day associated with pranks and jokes), that might have made at least part of the messaging go down better, or at least give folks more time to adjust.

(Obviously, having a huge bug hit that day didn't help.)
