Imo it's a brand new thing so it deserves this technical analysis, the follow up also deserves its own post because of its both importance and political/security nature (government app attacked).

It would be if Google announced Gmail and there was a technical analysis and then it was hacked the same day, I would hope there would be a post for that.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43896978 for why we didn't do that.

Short version: it's not possible to have separate discussions in the way you describe. They would just get totally blended.

I like your Gmail analogy but I don't think it applies here. The "technical analysis" article is driven by the same political/security concerns as the "hacked" update.

Thanks for adding the little bit of meta commentary here. I think it helps to understand a bit more about how the site functions. And with this case, particular, it is a very useful timeline to help follow the discussion.
