  >There was a whopping 61.6% increase in users copying from the top answer when the accepted answer was unpinned and the highest-scoring answer was first in the list of answers.

  I hope the users will still at least be curious about the accepted answer in such cases, popularity doesn't always mean it is better. But overall, I think this change is better.
