Just want to say that I hope Medium continues on this path of being more transparent and communicative!

After all, if we users don't understand why things are the way they are, if you folks at Medium don't tell us that you are already aware of certain bugs and problems, and if you make sudden significant changes without warning or much explanation, it feels like Medium is a place we writers can't really trust to build our online careers on.
But we love Medium and we WANT to trust it!
