I still remember the days when all we received in terms of status updates was a long string of silent days. So hey, the fact that they're taking the time to tell us they're working on stuff - and on what stuff they are working on - is a good thing.
Owk I wasn't born into steemit then so I might now perfectly understand what it was like to steem in silence , not knowing what was going on. Things are much better now. Steemit will be two years old in few months time so it's only natural for us to see these upgrade and get to communicate with the programmers better for efficient execution.
