The changelog very specifically said 'Removed the cages that were protecting the crystals during the dragon fight' listed as a 'Notable change'. Their changelogs are regularly misleading and not something you can rely on to be industry standard.

Even this specific changelog says 'Added 34.7% more hype for Minecraft 1.9', which is obvious silliness that confused someone on this post. The community cried out and they changed it to be quadratic again from 20-100%.

It was quadratic from 0-100%, and they randomly made it linear from 50-100%. They did the same thing a few snapshots ago with the attack cooldown. They flip-flop on features between snapshots like that a lot based on community feedback. You're right that, in theory, patch notes don't make it permanent, but I think in this situation they were definitely intended to be removed permanently and were reimplemented because pretty much everyone hated it. Their patch notes aren't exactly the epitome of professionalism. Mojang has never followed industry protocol with their patch notes it's not uncommon for features to be entirely skipped in the patch notes for the community to find, or for the patch notes to be really silly. You're getting upvoted and gilded but I don't think that's the case at all. (#spoiler) = neat!
