When something that isn’t final or certain reaches the FP (such as rumors, predictions, or leaked drafts), the mods will often quash the post for being such, even when for example it’s an Apple rumors post with hundreds of comments. I’ve seen occasional exceptions to this, primarily when it’s lawmaking or RFC-type work, as those drafts are quite often newsworthy. A leaked FYIQ draft from an IRC admin wouldn’t have registered to me as newsworthy, not until it was published, so I would have made the same decision the mods did.
