MODERATORS
IMO as a developer this is a sane change. There's no telling when the format of the first-party api key will change. They may switch from reference tokens to JWT tokens tomorrow. The validation should be using the token and seeing if it works.
If they had made the change for that reason, sure. But the actual stated cause was some pretty thing.
