Before this devolves into "why would anyone use jQuery anymore", I'd like to say congratulations! Thanks for continuing to refine a library that is essential to the web, has helped evolve many of its important APIs, and is ran by 90% of websites.
It's a tough call, but I think it has to be this way, or we'd have popular projects getting major threads with every incremental state change. That's fine in itself, of course, but front page slots are the most limited resource HN has.
(This is in no way a criticism of jQuery or its fine 3.0 release.)
I hope that this is applied on a case-by-case basis, e.g. Rails 5 RC1 was released more than a month ago, and the official release of Rails 5 will be major news when it happens and it would be a shame if it were 'dupe'd off of the front page.
fwiw, I'm glad that this article was on the front page, if only momentarily, because I had missed or forgotten about the previous RC announcement and am interested in this news.
