I find it suspicious that there was not a single comment from a user before the change shipped - but immediately after, there were various complaints. That's not the first time I see this pattern in a bug.
This looks more like the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" definition of "open" - where the discussion is technically public, but you heavily rely on the fact that no one knows it exists.
