Meta question: I had submitted this link[1] before posting the link here. IIRC this had a score of ~27 at the time; I don't need the karma, but what's best practice for changed-link submissions? Does it make your life easier if I delete my submission, or is there no real difference?
There's no real difference, so don't spend valuable time on that.
Perhaps when we eventually implement karma sharing for posts of the same article, the system will pick up cases like this and give earlier submitters a share.
apologies for my misleading title, I changed it with good intention (to make it clearer than the PR headline) but I misread the content (clouded by my assumptions) and screwed up. sorry!
