DDC changed numbers

This is just a rant.

I'm in the midst of doing some pro bono work for a Unitarian library.

Why oh why was Unitarianism changed from 288 to 289.1?  Just what was
gained by that change?  Editions of the same work are separated
depending on when published.

It's this sort of thing which makes me advise against DDC for even the
samllest start up library.
