You editorialized the title. We don't do that here. Please stop doing that. The scare quotes around "improvements" were particularly uncalled for. There was obviously a neutral way to word this story beyond "Release notes for GParted 0.9.0".

You could, if you were so inclined, fix the title now. "GParted 0.9.0 loses ability to resides FAT filesystems" might work.

PS: Sorry, YC disallows me from editing the title at this point of time. If anyone reading this has the administrative powers to do that, please go ahead.

I indeed edited the title very shortly after posting; I changed "Gparted" into "GParted". I was unaware this would pose a problem.

About the scare quotes: I agree, I should've posted this in an unbiased way. I will change the title in a second to what you suggested.

Thanks! That's very cool of you.
