  Yes, but I wanted to foster this exact comment thread so it worked perfectly.

    Yeah, but your editorialised title suggested a recent change, whereas this change was made over fifteen years ago. (Can’t trivially find exactly when the change was made, but it’s already present in <https://web.archive.org/web/20071001102153/https://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/diff/#changed-elements https://web.archive.org/web/20071001102153/https://www.w3.or...>.)

  Absolutely not! We also need em and strong, just to be confusing and redundant like Perl.

  Hilariously, the modern prescription for <b> ("text to which attention is being drawn for utilitarian purposes without conveying any extra importance") probably covers more uses of boldface than <strong> ("strong importance, seriousness, or urgency for its contents").
