      I am not sure, there was nothing stopping them from taking it fully closed now in one step. It is more likely making it open only after release is a measure to avoid all the community input spaff during development. So long and thanks for all the feedback.

        Sure there was. Backlash and bad publicity for one. This way they do it in small digestible bites.
