All: this thread got a flash flood of angry-predictable-obvious comments. Please don't post those! They're really bad for this site. (Edit: if you want to see the comments I'm talking about, they're collapsed at the bottom of the page now. Before that, they were the page.)

The issue with such points isn't that they're wrong, it's that they're not interesting. Nothing predictable and obvious is. We want interesting conversation here, and that comes from curiosity. If you're feeling agitation rather than curiosity, please wait until that polarity flips.

The interesting things in a story like this are any diffs from what one would have expected.

It's a significant move, so there must be interesting diffs. But sometimes one has to hunt for those, or at least wait for them to occur to one. That sort of waiting is key to getting good HN discussion, which is reflective rather than reflexive.
