Signboards with educational information no longer eligible?

Was just looking through the Eligible Wayspot page in order to quote someone what the guildines say about educational signboards only to find that it is no longer mentioned. Check the update log and there is also no mention of a change. Is this another stealth removal?

They still fall under "educational value": https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/help#help-criteria.
Signboards would probably still have educational value and still qualify. I'm just reading the Eligible candidates criteria.
If it's not on the explicitly not allowed list or the accepted list, you need to make a judegment call.
You are missing the fact that many people won't use their own judgement and will rejected anything that isn't explicitly stated as eligible. That is why I am concerned about the removal of signboards from the list of eligible nominations.
This "many people" we keep speaking of needs to somehow be educated, to the effect that it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to create a 100% comprehensive list of things-that-can and things-that-cannot be used as POIs. The world keeps growing and changing.
I thought places that would have art classes or dance classes and such would fit under "education" but Niantic believes otherwise. I'm very confused by the random removals of criteria
Yeah, that AMA response surprised me.
