Ah, I think I understand you a bit better. It’s true that the reason for the change is unclear, and it definitely could be malicious. However, that lack of clarity is what makes the OP article title misleading.

The article title claims the certainty that Google has blocked the Aurora store outright. I think you’ll agree that frequent errors with some successes is not the same as an intentional, simple block.

We may find that, yes, Google is intentionally blocking Aurora. It is just misleading to say so at this point.

The linked gitlab discussion suggests it. There’s intermittent successes, and the particular errors align with a backend change.

Oh, sick! I think you mean paper designed for accounting, i.e., ledgers, while Grey is referring to the US standard size of the same name almost certainly named for that purpose.

That’s a neat thought, but the connection between them is probably trivial enough to not be objectionable.
