So, I was looking through the Remaster Core Preview (here: Remaster Preview) and I was wondering....
Is the ability bonus to spell damage going away? Like, for example, Produce Flame (pre-Remaster) does 1d4 + spellcaster ability modifier in damage, and post-Remaster, it's renamed Ignition, and does 2d4, but with no spellcaster ability modifier. But I don't see spellcaster ability modifier mentioned in regards to damage on any spell. (Mind you, I have not compared every spell in that preview to their pre-Remaster version.)

Spellcaster ability modifier will be removed from damage of cantrips in remaster.
IMO this is a part of MADness reduction like Clerics that will no more need charisma boost to get their font spells and druids that will now able to use metal armors. The cantrips looses the Spellcaster ability modifier but get an extra dice to allow Magus, Eldritch Archers and MC builds to be less MAD.

What? One of the main reasons I'm playing PF2e instead of 5e is because of the wide-spread utility of ability scores, aside from your main one.
The Druid/Metal thing I knew about (even if I also disagree with that), but where were these other changes announced?
EDIT: I found it; Gen Con stream.
