It wasn't admin fiat or the most popular, it was a weird middleground. it was the result of a long discussion in user union, but a lot of people who didn't go onto user union much had no idea that discussion was even happening.
I was one of those people and I felt blindsided and hated the change at first. But it's definitely grown on me since then
I remember the userunion thread since I always sorted by all/new and checked all/hot occasionally to see if I'd missed anything, but I couldn't remember what the actual results in it were just the ultimate result of the name change.
