I am also a bit taken aback and disappointed not just at the changes, but at how suddenly they've been made with so little advance notice. While I've never been completely sold on the eternal tagset--it doesn't seem very sustainable and I noticed an awful lot of initial pinch hits last year--it would have been nice to have far more warning of its removal, so we could plan accordingly.
I don't have much more to add about the ships possibility that hasn't already been said by others here. I always appreciated the simplicity and flexibility of single characters and prompts cover shipping possibilities while being open enough for authors/artists to use or ignore as they please.
On a slightly different note I couldn't find anything about how matching works in the FAQ. I assume it's still done on an OR basis? But that should be clarified for newcomers.
That all said, thank you for taking over and keeping this lovely exchange going. I can only imagine how much work modding these things takes, so thank you for stepping up.
