It was [obvious from the beginning](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/436520/400654) that this was going to be the likely outcome of the latest discussions "experiment". I'm not buying that this was just a sudden change of heart in the past 30 days, given all signs in the experiment literally pointed to this. The goals were set far broader than the experiment could possibly reach without fully replacing Q&A, and now that's what we're seeing.

I'm not sure why it's even being announced on meta at this point, no one here (outside of people who want to watch the world burn and some staff) wants it and none of our feedback will matter anyway.
