D&D 5E WotC has updated the Hadozee glide ability on DnDBeyond

the thing is, why not just put it out in normal errata, put it on the website and sing from the roof tops "Hey that thing no one likes, we have a fix"

Probably to avoid drawing attention to the other thing. That's my only guess.

I would think that MORE so, not less they want to say "we listened and corrected as soon as possible"

why not put out a statement at the same time. Why would putting the info on the main page make beyond take longer?

You didn't answer my question

Actually we have been told by two people there is more. (I am hopeful about what that means) I now need to wait for someone to buy it and report on it. On something I bought.

People complain about errata all the time but that is FREE errata.

Well yes, WotC does have a history of making you pay for errata (the 3.5 era), but I don't know that I should be happy about needing to wait for errata in the first place...

Well, it looks like they officially announced that they made a mistake on the other issue. So my theory that they avoided publicly announcing this errata because of that seems incorrect.

Here is what is on D&D Beyond Now: Statement on the Hadozee

They also included an errata PDF

Here is the statement:
We wanted to acknowledge and own the inclusion of offensive material within our recent Spelljammer: Adventures in Space content. We failed you, our players and our fans, and we are truly sorry.

The campaign includes a people called Hadozee which first appeared in 1982. Regrettably, not all portions of the content relating to the Hadozee were properly vetted before appearing in our most recent release. As we continue to learn and grow through every situation, we recognize that to live our values, we have to do better.

Throughout the 50-year history of Dungeons & Dragons, some of the characters in the game have been monstrous and evil, using descriptions that are painfully reminiscent of how real-world groups have been and continue to be denigrated. We understand the urgency of changing how we work to better ensure a more inclusive game.

Effective immediately, we will remove the offensive content about Hadozee in our digital versions – and these will no longer be included in future reprints of the book. Our priority is to make things right when we make mistakes. In addition, we’ve initiated a thorough internal review of the situation and will take the necessary actions as a result of that review.

We are eternally grateful for the ongoing dialog with the D&D community, and we look forward to introducing new, engaging and inclusive content to D&D for generations to come. D&D teaches that diversity is strength, for only a diverse group of adventurers can overcome the many challenges a D&D story presents. In that spirit, we are committed to making D&D as welcome and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

Considering the lore has also been updated and the thread about that has been closed, perhaps @darjr would edit the OP to include the lore changes as well.

Stop talking about Fight Club.
