Terrible update, terrible support, nothing new.
afaik there's no way to even confirm these people are iclassic developers creating content since the forums don't have a way to differentiate staff from regular players and they still haven't released a list. but regardless either way (under the assumption they aren't trolling) i'll say
there's no way you can actually make the claim that this was done to patch or fix an "bug." because people will be able to simply use this "bug" to get as many upload tokens as their "heart desires" right? If you make the claim the actual bug itself was patched however, it's proof we didn't need this system because the bug would have been patched regardless. bad developing either way.
as for the claims that refunding your bodies is an exploit, that legitimately makes no sense. You'd get a better coverup story for this crappy update from paddie. If the developers scripted and created a system that lets you refund uploads for 50% off after the initial 3 hours, and someone does that for a (LOSS) in gralats.... how is that at all an exploit? they aren't abusing anything, because I can guarantee you that NO ONE is actually stacking uploads to sell later on.
