It sounds from the description like this "feature" was added in an earlier version, not something literally released on Christmas.
YET I HAVEN'T EVER INSPECTED THE BUTTON COMPONENT. Would be super funny if I would have found that christmas egg this summer...
Now as I'm thinking about it, we have EnhancedButton, which gets 'block' boolean prop to make it full-width. I was used to that from react-bootstrap and even had the idea to open feature request on antd... In that case I would certainly open the button.tsx...
Anyway, great episode in the frontend world.
