As I commented several days ago, it used to just read "From Wikipedia, the free encylopedia". Interesting.
Is there any commentary on this change somewhere?

seems to spell out the debate rather well.
It was changed last week (before your comment) as well, but was reverted (by me). I prefer the original tagline (for various reasons, including consistency with other languages and the Wiki logo), but I haven't the motivation to argue against the change this time.
