You know, guys... I have a gut feeling that Apple reversed it's decision. It's a gut feeling, I'm not to start any rumor, I don't have any info.. I just wanna share and let's see if I'm right...
I think Apple realized that:
1. Number of submittions didn't decrease, in contrary - increased. I've seen plenty of "remakes" of old apps already - and it was just a beginning. Submitting new application instead of an update is just some extra few copy-paste operations.
2. Visibility of the apps didn't increase (I was following some apps) - they moved to the 2nd 3rd pages very quickly after tsunami of brand "new" apps.
3. The other reasons we made in this forum.. Maybe Apple reads such forums and maybe thinks... good if it does.
I think (if I were Apple), they would just disregard "availability date" and place the app in "new releases" automatically upon update or new release. Which is what they suppose to be doing on the first place. That's why we now see bizarre "release dates"..
I'm just speculating, let's see if my intuition is right.
