I wonder what monetary loss in productivity was due to this change. We noticed this issue a bit before noon, tracked it down to GH, sent out company-wide comms notifying others of the problem, filed tickets with GH, had to modify numerous repos across multiple teams, and now it's 3pm and I'm here reading about it.

It's crazy how such a seemingly innocuous change, like this, could lead to such widespread loss in productivity across the globe.

Our conda-forge package builds broke. We had someone declare to us that tag downloads were never stable, just releases. This seems to be the opposite of the known truth about the previous status quo - but does go some way to demonstrating how little the state of the actual guarantees for this system were understood.
