However, this isn't some isolated story that happened a week ago and nobody knows what's happened in the days since. As evidenced by the many discussion comments many have been following the developments/commentaries. Each of those posts were appearing as the story developed and/or referred to the initial overarching incident. Some even reference the other posts as part of the development. My thing of course when we get to this 'long-form' coverage is must we then repeat all of the prior discussions? Perhaps, but there's the prior discussion links anyways.

This is some info about the event. There was lots of people on Twitter angry about it. In the end it's mostly been forgotten by non-Rubyists, but Matz, DHH and others have brought it up in part due to recent events.
