Here's my take, I don't follow many of the boards outside Security and Theory, so I can't judge most of the categories. At least I didn't miss it this year, although a notice in the General forum would maybe have helped me to see it earlier. I generally skim over the anchored posts, and was largely surprised to see that one there.
