I'll go ahead and take this.

So, there's additional changes coming?

Sorry, "put back"? Does that mean we should remove some of them, or...?

Since the alpha announcement is the first one out with "products" maybe
we lead with products and hold off until beta or final to try to broach
this?

Or are we worried that if we don't get this in the alpha announcement,
people will think we're dropping spins? (I'm thinking this may be more
likely, I'll try to work a note in about spins as well.)
