@GTK if you don't communicate, people will not be able to tell apart what's what. You have to battle misinformation, upfront when possible. And people have warned you about this too! You're lucky there are media outlets who responsibly explained the nuance for you.
You don't have to be a fortune teller to tell that many non-programmers would misinterpret the news out of context, and yet you left the context buried in a commit message. Get off the high horse.
