Yeah, I read somewhere that they streamlined it down to harden it against DDoS attacks.

When I read the article about the "insurance" package it specifically stated that no redactions of names was inclusive and indicated that steps were taken before the previous download to take out names and other ID information of people who could get hurt or dead by the disclosures. Which only makes sense, if you expose regular folks doing their jobs no one is going to support you.

Breaking down a democratic process between hostile groups costs lives too, that could potentially happen.
