The Thing About Blogger

My local blog editor broke down so I had to log into the web interface through my browser. I hunted for some options since I had just recently changed my password, and then I found something curious.

If you scroll all the way down in the Settings page, you'll be able to find something called an "Updated editor". How long has Google been hiding this feature and letting people "suffer" with the old editor? Shouldn't services like these be automatically applied?
