My guess... it WAS a permanent change. One which created problems they had never imagined. 24 hours later... it's a systems problem that they are working tirelessly to fix.

It probably never occured to them what would happen when 200,000+ items went into one single category that could not be narrowed down.

Look at it this way, if they now reduce the classifications by 50%, we'll all think it's fine. If they had just made a 50% cut to start, everyone would have gone nuts (just like we did.) Now, they can "fix" it and be "great guys."
