Reddit HTML change impact brainstorm

Sometimes changes to reddit HTML break subreddit CSS or browser extension functionality. It would be nice to minimize breaks and to notify mods/developers about breaking changes.

After deploying a change that affects HTML, post to the changelog A/B thread or make a new /r/cssnews post. Then, link to that post in a variety of other mod destinations. Finally, monitor the comment rss feeds for those posts in a single channel.

For experiments, maybe expose the feature flags so mods can test it?

When deploying a change, automated test bot which diffs "what is selected by CSS" before/after on various subreddits and user states (anon, auth'd, subreddit subscriber).
