News CG update

I'm very scared about your concept about the term "minor".
Please elaborate.
Did you increase the tier requirements because now it is more effective to contribute, or did you decrease them because it was to ineffective before?
In the software development world, if something doesn't stop users from using the software, its not usually a major issue. Since this one didn't affect a majority of players, then its easy to to see how its classified as a minor bug.
Or maybe he is referring to it being a minor bug from a technical standpoint. Once devs spotted the problem it took them 2 seconds to fix.
I've known software projects that any bug under 18 years of age was seen as 'minor'
might have been better to update the CG sticky than pop it in an obscure place - I'll pop a link in the CG thread to here
Dose this mean past contributions to the CG may getting watered by now accepted Imp bounties or any mitigation is done to the past contributions?
I'm currently off from Sol like 1000ly for exploration after doing this BH CG some days ago and not going back soon.
Nevertheless any fix is better than a bug to be left.

A CG is a Community Goal, events set up by FD for us wherein we have specific goals to accomplish to 'activate' the CG, which means the first tier of rewards will be payed out, and then further goals which increase the tiers of the rewards.
These events can be to bring cargo to a specific station, like the recent CG that asked for a rare good, Presents, to be delivered to a station a short distance away, under 200LY, and based on the amount of Presents delivered, new players got a new starter ship. That CG reached a high enough tier that new players got a Viper Mk IV.
Here lately they've had 2 CGs going at once, one for cargo and another for bounties, with the bounties being a 'help protect the cargo haulers' bit that allows combat oriented players to also participate in the CG.

Problem was it was spotted by the community as soon as we started handing in Combat Bonds...last week! Another testing fail for FD, really baffles me why they don't have a thorough Testing Check-list tick box before or as soon as CGs are made public.
Edit: that's not to say I'm not thankful of course I am, just wish these simple things were picked up much earlier rather than right at the end.

The tiers were decreased (It's easier to achieve) because people were unable to hand in certain types of bonds for a lot of the CG.
