I feel sorta dumb that I didn't realize that this news would seem like we were saying "This is how it will work for the next 6-8 years!", because it's been about that long since we last made changes to how graduation works. We've failed to communicate that that's not the plan here. It's ongoing and subject to change, and it definitely will benefit from the community's ideas.

+1 for the much needed clarification, and what @200_success said. I'm 100% behind this change now.

Yep. Sorry for the confusion and tension, @200_success. We were all just talking past each other for a while because nobody on our side had grasped this key component yet.

For what it's worth, I think the original post was pretty clear this wasn't all set in stone. Thanks for working hard on all this!
