View submission: Renaming "sticky posts" to "announcements"

So if the mod team isn't around and a user makes a post that deserves to be stickied (like this post, for example[1]), we can no longer sticky them? We have to make a new thread if we want to sticky it, which ignores all of the previous discussion going on at the time?

I don't see how this benefits the vast majority of subreddits in the slightest.

/u/keysersosa and /u/spez, if I'm completely off base here on how this works, please let me know. From my perspective, this seems like a wholly negative change.

EDIT: Seems that they've gone back on this change, and are allowing stickies to be made by users. I'm glad they recognized the problem so fast, but that's why we have multiple subreddits for getting moderator feedback on changes like this...
