I believe that Jimbo may have misunderstood and thinks substantive
changes were made, rather than just a merge -- perhaps because of the
situation today at the Langan article and the discussion about primary
sources on this list, which seems to have given the false impression
that changes were made to the NOR policy.

The merge was popular, smooth, there were no changes to policy, and
ATT has quickly become a widely used page, so I'm assuming this was a
misunderstanding that will be sorted out soon enough.
