Announcement Timing Complaints
Commenters criticize a company's handling of an announcement for a major change, debating the lack of prior internal warnings to employees and maintainers versus waiting for a planned event, and questioning why more notice wasn't given despite rumors.

Yeah, this didn't happen overnight. They could have given more warning.
an announcement internally would have been nice...
Shouldn't this announcement have waited about a week?
I wonder what the motivation was to communicate this to employees now (knowing it would "leak"), versus just waiting until their event on 5/21. The rumor has been widespread for a while now, and I don't think two more weeks would have done much damage.
This message was from just two hours ago. But why make big announcement and then make changes? Should be other way around?
Totally reads like post-facto CYA. they could have communicated this to the maintainers internally beforehand instead of blindsiding them.
That analysis must have taken quite a while. Wasn't there any way to notify people earlier
What's the story behind this? Did they get enough warning beforehand?
Did they make a public announcement to that effect? Or do you have insider knowledge?
Sure hope they were notified before it was released.
