So, I can't speak for everyone, but I personally enjoyed Urk's update much more than I've enjoyed the last 4 from Deej, mainly because his humor seems to taste better, and somehow felt more genuine.
I would like to start a petition to either add Urk as a full time community communications leader in combiation with, or in replacement of, Deej.
Even with the saddening (to some) news about cheese removal and changes to in game mechanics, I still came out feeling refreshed and smiling after reading what he had to say. It's nice to smile for a change instead of feeling ignored, insulted, or otherwise disgruntled.
Perhaps my emotional discourse over the last few traumatic updates we've been through with Deej has augmented my rationality. Or maybe I am jumping the gun and would be just as frustrated with Urk in a few weeks. But for now, I would much prefer we keep Urk on board, and let Deej continue his vacation off duty for the foreseeable future.
Share your thoughts amongst the community and let me know what you are thinking as you digest the tasteful fruit that is Urk's update.

Bring back Frankie! [spoiler]Forgot, he's with 343i now.[/spoiler] It doesn't matter who the community manager is at Bungie (it could be dinklebot for all I care); because the weekly updates have more cheese [i]spread[/i] throughout them than, well a jar of cheese spread - or CE. IMO it would be better if once a week they just provided some straight facts, ie we are fixing these Crota/VoG issues or we are working on the hare network issue or whichever they currently see as causing most KTO. The second weekly update could be some fun facts/trivia/content information filled with cheese spread - and if they had custom PvP games, they could bring back the humpday challenge to include in this update.
