It's currently cheaper to wire money than to send some ETH.

Sounds like it's just a notice of intent.

Only the PoW (proof of work) ones.

It's ETC. ETH is a separate currency.
storedbox | 5 years ago | on: Grub2 security update renders system unbootable
Unfortunately, I think this move would receive quite a lot of flack due to it being systemd. I totally agree though.

No, it absolutely is not.

Bitwarden is end-to-end encrypted. So, password "resets" aren't really a thing without also resetting the vault as a whole.
