All you've done is list the differences and assert they are dumb changes. You have said nothing to actually show that these differences are detrimental to usability...

Just to be clear, you are confirming my point, not contradicting it. The post I was replying to was being obtuse in the way you are describing.

If somebody produces an addon that gives an advantage over anyone else, paid or not, it's a problem with the game engine. Blizzard has had a long-standing policy of disabling specific functionality when it got out of hand. Patch 2.0 (burning crusade) got rid of all the old braindead button mashing mods that could practically play the game for you. This new policy will have no effect on what addons are actually capable of doing.

""After the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced plans to donate five billion dollars to help rebuild libraries destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division launched a formal investigation into the Foundation. Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General, said in a press release that, 'The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest charity cartel, has overstepped its boundaries and entered into the realm of predatory pricing. How is FEMA supposed to compete with private charities?'"
