    This isn’t -bad- news, but I’m still not impressed. They could have just, you know, not done it in the first place. They don’t get credit for partially walking back a bad decision. The “advanced flow” is more likely a dark pattern, and will still have a chilling effect on FOSS uptake and distribution, which is still the intended purpose of the change.
