Don’t know much about that, but it doesn’t sound like it makes screeching in the comments any more helpful.

I don’t believe that this is for the better, nor that this is done in good faith to protect users. They already tried to make it mandatory to go through Google, which is a pretty clear hint of their actual goal.
