Parent article: A note on subscription prices from LWN

Thank you all for creating such an informative and entertaining resource. Personally I’m happy to pay the increased price.

That said, I’m going to soapbox a bit: I think it would have been nice if the title of the article said it was a price increase. Vague titles for bad news are standard in corporate communications, but to me they feel… obfuscatory. Perhaps the goal is to set an apologetic or personal tone, but I think it better respects the reader’s time to make the title a useful summary of the article.

But this is basically just an aesthetic preference of mine; I wouldn’t be surprised if others see things differently. I’m not claiming that my time was wasted: I would have read the article either way. :)
