Methinks an edit got published. That phrase does not show up in the

announcements that a reasonably quick scan detected.

My guess is that Rob is referring to the lack of serial comma (also
called Oxford comma or Harvard comma). I haven't paid too close
attention to IBM's announcements, but maybe they always used to
include it, and just recently decided to drop it.

For example, maybe instead of

Review newly announced products, features, withdrawal dates and more

they used to say

Review newly announced products, features, withdrawal dates, and more

I'll let Rob confirm or clarify. Wayback Machine is not helping me.
