Misleading headline? It links to an unresolved GH issue, so no evidence that there is an actual change of policy (rather than, let’s say, a bug, or a temporary hiccup)
There is nothing worse than some Muppet who finds what's probably almost certainly a mistake or config error and then posts alarmist and "This is now a fact" posts.<p>Post it like "I don't seem to be able to view unless I login" or "Does anyone else find that they need to login" not as a statement of fact.
