Some developers no longer want to imply that Bitcoin offers cheap and fast transactions since a fee market will likely develop:

The current site text makes repeated mention of Bitcoin providing low transaction fees and instant transactions, as well as strongly implying that any transaction paying a fee or having medium priority will be confirmed in the next block.

As instant transactions can be unsafe and the other things are less likely to be true in as available block space becomes fully utilized, this pull removes or clarifies those sections.

honestly i don't see anything that needs changing. you are saying that the "fee market will likely develop" but there is no change in the fee market! it has been as it was before.
the only thing that has changed was for period of time a series of spams were introduced to the network which messed up the normal way of things a little bit.

and the quote is 100% right and don't need changing. bitcoin is still a fast transaction (in seconds) and confirmed fast too (matter of minutes) also it has the lowest fees so far and you can send free transactions too.
