I don't follow Underscore but whoever wrote this title (currently "Underscore 1.8 makes last minute breaking changes to master without discussion") must really have an axe to grind, and it seems inappropriate for HN. Doesn't really set the tone for any constructive discussion.

The submitted title ("Underscore 1.8 makes last minute breaking changes to master without discussion") broke the HN guidelines by editorializing the title. We changed it to the article title, such as it is. If any of you wants to suggest an accurate and neutral title that is better, we can change it again.

Yeah, and linking to a PR risks a bunch of parties w/o a real stake in the project piling on and shitting up the PR. Really poor form, OP.

shitting up the PR

Good people of HN, this phrase deserves your upvotes.

There have been previous events in underscore's history that lead to sudden breaking changes without following semver. That's probably why.
