While Alan's title for this thread is hype borrowed from the link, most likely done to make a point and not to be taken literally, the material comes from Thom Hogan, who isn't exactly a nobody (read his bio). Once you get beyond the title and carefully read the content of his post and the experience he had, it raises questions - the first one being whether this is a random glitch of some kind that doesn't deserve the attention he's creating. He claims not, saying many others have experienced the same thing. So perhaps there is a problem that needs to be fixed. For the record, I do have much respect for Adobe - where would we be in digital imaging without the brilliant people they employ delivering us such incredibly powerful software, and the commercial decisions they have made over the years for it to be marketable and viable, thereby sustaining it. But recently there have been a series of confusing issues, e.g. - over program versions, version numbering, feature differences between alternative license arrangements and the underlying approach to them, the LR Import Dialog issue, at the heart of which improved communications and additional bullet-proofing seems indicated. I wouldn't read much more than that into any of this. Problems occur, they can be fixed.
