unprofessionally poor communication, at worst it's taking the community
for granted.

Why does the date of implementation matter?

There was a long discussion with, thanks to Rob, much more community involvement that any previous changes. Those comments were discussed and many changes and improvements made and the discussion had largely come to an end so I did a technical review of the code and got a few more issues fixed and then merged it.

I would probably have left it longer after the merge before going live except that yesterday was a a hack day when we had lots of people in one place and ready to fix issues and such like so it seemed like a sensible time to do it.

What difference would it have made to you to have been told a specific date and time? That's not an attempt to be nasty or anything, it's a genuine question so we can try and do things better in the future.

If we have announced it would go live at 11am yesterday what things would you have done differently as a result?
