undefined | Better HN

The official announcement tells your that there's a vuln, it's considered important enough to break things and that it's out right now. The other thing tells you someone committed something a few weeks ago. The missing context also helps drive a lot of under-informed grumpy threads, rather than bettter-informed grumpy comments/threads. There'd have probably been fewer grumpy threads with the better link.

They both say right at the top that it's a vulnerability, and the old title put the breakage front and center. So I don't know what you mean by missing context.

The context of one is 'someone committed a thing a few weeks ago and it does a thing, according to someone posting to HN'. The context of the other is 'one of the biggest git users on the planet tells you there's git vuln, fix out right now'.

Git itself removing an ability should tell you that it's a big deal even more than "one of the biggest git users on the planet".

And again, first line says it's a vulnerability. "it does a thing, according to someone posting to HN" is a big fat strawman.
