System accounts are part of any update, but I agree this change should have been more visible beyond an entry on github - though maybe I missed it.

A batch of new users appearing- we also scan for spam accounts being batch processed - did cause some concern, but it was easy enough to clarify by digging into the details and asking support.

As a hosted platform I would prefer this be a bit more transparent, there are plenty of mechanisms for communicating upcoming changes that can avoid unnecessary concern.
