I get that it was pretty cheesy--I actually agree this is how it should have been in the first place--but this is pretty late in the game to be making changes that completely invalidate some builds. And it's not like it's some weird niche case--it's a very common build suggestion here, and I see it brought up all the time. So that means two things: people are going to have their builds broken at a point where I think it would be pretty reasonable to assume that things were... stable is probably too strong a word, but not likely to change dramatically. Second, it means that there is over a year's worth of internet content that recommend something that's not functional. The major sites will probably update their stuff, but I get tons of build advice from reddit posts I find via Google, and people doing the same will likely have no idea that what they're looking at is no longer valid....

No worries, your position is absolutely understandable. It's our bad for not including it in the patchnotes.
As for the rest - the game is still not finished and continues to be updated with more content being produced and old content being repaired and fixed where it's possible. It's a slow process but it's going on (and we'd like to look at balance issues in Crusade too for example).
While I understand it can be annoying for builds and guides to become obsolete, the game has to move forward and give a better experience for the newcomers. If you wish to play with the previous build, you may always choose to stay on an earlier stable version (1.3.7d) or use mods to alter your gameplay to your preferences.
