Always good to get updates "from above."
I am not a technical person, so much of this flies a straight line above my head, but the ability to EDIT past seven days is very welcome... because it (in essence) enables a broad-based ability to keep content "evergreen."
I point that out as "important" because lots of valid content here gets to be "out of date" and could readily be updated, even if it's not for a reward.
Why does it MATTER?
Because Google likes Steemit! But Google DISlikes "stale" content. And their algorithms (which — in terms of complexity — put the Internal Revenue Code to shame!) will increasingly "bury" stale and out-of-date content.
And we need all the visibility we can get!
So that's a win-win, from where I am sitting...
goes back and revises everything ever written :) ok, maybe not.. but super stoked about this!
