Strongly agree. Such whitewashing puts all previous incident reports in doubt - can I trust CF summaries of outages, or did they rewrite that history too.
I understand your point, but CloudFlare generally is very transparent, including root cause analysis and their CTO reaching out directly. It could also be a mistake or not so well thought about instead of assuming bad intentions.

jgrahamc is in this thread. if he wants to, he may say this was a mistake and swear they won't do this anymore
he can also add an [edited] on that entry, among other things
Entry[1] dated "Jun 21, 2022 - 06:43 UTC" has been edited to include more detail after they posted another entry at 06:57 UTC. There seems to be no indication that the message has been altered.
Currently text on the status page may suggest that they identified the problem immediately but it took about 15 minutes. Previously there was a text stating that customers should expect update within 15 minutes. Next message was posted 14 minutes after that but previous message was altered later and nothing indicates this.
Cloudflare, not cool.
