This change will become permanent soon. You will no longer be able to opt-out.
Is there a timeline on the “soon” here?
There are a few different ways to slice it, but new and unread are both dependent on the individual user. They can also be completely empty.
Latest on the other hand is more global (excluding user muted categories) and already contains your new and unread content. So there’s nothing to merge with latest, because it’s already there.

Not too far now…I’ve fixed the last actual bug that was around. I appreciate yours and others’ input here, but we will make the functionality as it stands Permanent, then any further UX changes (like e.g. adding a dropdown to the New tab or adding user preferences around this) can go in a Contribute > Feature request topic.
As I said earlier in the topic too, it shouldn’t be too hard to make a theme component for your community if needed, since the topicTrackingState service still has the individual counts, we won’t be removing this.
