Discuss: is Valve actually running a consistent multi-month design philosophy on reloading, or is this pattern-matching two unrelated changes?

Discussion thread for March's mag overhaul and September's silent reload are the same decision, six months apart.

March: drop the whole mag, lose the leftover bullets. September: hold reload for silence, pay time for it. Same idea on two axes, or just two changes that happen to share a verb?
