Generally my attitude as well. As mich as I disapprove of WotC, I have to root for them on this specific issue lest we give people like LaNasa a larger platform which is detrimental to the hobby as a whole.
Me and many MANY others would have been happy to see an "evolving take" on drow in Golarion, especially since one of their demon lords they venerated shifted alignment and ascended to godhood which would have been an amazing storyline to follow. But nope, just hit the big red retcon button.
The OGL can't be destroyed anymore though, it is in the Creative Commons. And I know Jacobs is hurt since, yeah, they were planning on doing something with the drow but I still stand by my choice to leave and go to other systems. My group is wanting me to give a few OSR games that have drow in...

It is a matter of principle to me. Doesn't help that my mere mentioning that I like drow on other websites/forums in recent days led to getting my personal character impugned. No, after this news I've found all enthusiasm for not only the current edition but also even the previous one wilt away...

I mean, I'm certainly no fan of 5e or any of the UA I've read for the upcoming revision, but overwhelmingly is WotC being just a terrible company overall that people are attacking.
I think the only major fix needed would be, like, just do what modern 4e players do - give a free expertise feat at level 1 (or adjust the math for monster defenses down by one on average, keeping their best defense as is maybe?) and make sure every race has the standard +2 to one set ability...
