I'm sure most people here know which wish I mean. It had over 5500 votes and was one of the most active in the Galaxy wishlist. It demanded that Galaxy will stay optional, except for things like multiplayer, achievements etc, and that offline installers won't be neglected. All of that is absolutely coherent with GOGs own stance and promises.
So, how should I interpret this move?? Will Galaxy become mandatory soon? Or is it just a mistake?
Can a blue one comment on this please?

Wish content: "Be optional till the end of days
The GOG staff has stated it everywhere: that Galaxy will remain optional. I want to trust them.
Therefore this request is supposed to be a reminder for the promise they'd made. This also includes the requirement that non-galaxy features won't be neglected, be it the up-to-dateness of offline-installers and patches or other concerns regarding the website- and account-functionality. Besides, there should never be a game requiring the client or profiting substantially from it's features (except multiplayer, chat and achievements)."
Edit: It seems that my wish was combined with Release the gog galaxy client for Linux wish because the original url https://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy/be_optional_till_the_end_of_days now redirects to it.
This makes no sense since the wishes have absolutely nothing in common.
