From my side, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which turns this into more of a debate This could age very differently in a week.
On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s the key detail here. Time will tell.
If we’re being honest, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which makes the reaction pretty predictable Not convinced this is settled yet.

Not gonna lie, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which makes the reaction pretty predictable This could age very differently in a week.
Trying to be fair, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where the disagreement starts Time will tell. At least from my perspective.
