Yeah, what or who made the change to the database? Why did they do it? What are they "hardening ingestion of Cloudflare-generated configuration files" against? Do they know? Are they trying not to be specific on purpose or are they being incompetent?

Seriously just read the article, Cloudflare have made a surprising amount of detail public.

If you don’t understand what’s in the article that’s fine… just ask for the bits you don’t understand to be explained.
